This episode of Media Watch examines how images of the tragedy in the Himalayas circulated the globe, except in China, where state-owned media tightly controlled what people saw. Plus, the horrific case of Lindsay Clancy has gripped the internet, fuelled in part by an algorithm that rewards conspiratorial thinking. And why the Productivity Commission’s assessment that the WA GST deal is a ‘costly mistake’ has poked the west-coast bear. Media Watch is the ABC's long-running media accountability program, holding journalists, editors and media organisations, including the ABC, to account. Since 1989, Media Watch has exposed conflicts of interest, factual errors, plagiarism and manipulation across the Australian and international media landscape.
