SXSW Special - Paul Blackburn and Nick Morgan

Marc Fennell has a knack for finding the stories that make you double-take. From art heists to stolen colonial artifacts, he has carved out a niche as Australia’s preeminent chronicler of the weird and the wealthy.

His latest project, Australia’s Greatest Conman, dives into the surreal world of John Friedrich and the National Safety Council.

Marc joined Mediaweek's Newsmakers to talk behind the scenes on the doco series that investigates Australia’s biggest fraudster. A guy who built a private counter-terrorism base, gave helicopter lifts to Bob Hawke, and was awarded an Order of Australia.

And he paid for absolutely none of it.

What happens when a journalist who’s spent decades in the newsroom goes head-to-head with a futurist who believes AI could save it?

In the very first Mediaweek’s Newsmakers Debate, Joe Hildebrand and Rita Arrigo face off over one of the biggest questions in modern media: Is AI destroying journalism, or helping it evolve?


It’s a fiery, funny, and surprisingly hopeful exchange about truth, trust, and the future of storytelling — and it’s one every media professional should hear.
