ANU boffins feeding News24's content appetite with "Future Forum

On a side note, I did suggest the idea of an interactive forum and interviews with ANU academics late last year for the relaunch of the paper.

That was meant to say Woroni too for the avoidance of doubt about what “paper”.

What a perfect match. “Academics” from the University of East Bumcrack on the ABC. They deserve each other. Yawn provoking pompous twaddle but the pity is that we are paying for it twice – the salaries of the “academics” and the costs bourne by the socialist propaganda apparatus in producing it and putting it to air.

Awesome! A lot of ANU academics (and those at other Unis) have some great things to share but the media typically doesn’t have the space nor many of the readers the attention span to give them a go. Between this and a new website called “The Conversation” launched by Unis, things are looking up.

On a side note, I did suggest the idea of an interactive forum and interviews with ANU academics late last year for the relaunch of the paper. They never did anything about it, weren’t interested. They did have plenty of column inches for a bed being thrown out the window of a resi and a two page feature on discovering Porn though. Very sad really.
