Journalism doesn’t get a good rap as a profession, but sometimes it really shines. This week on The Hoot, Ross Solly and Genevieve Jacobs dissect the Ben Roberts-Smith trial and the value of good journalism.
It’s been a triumphant week for telling the truth and getting it right, but at what cost?

The Calvary Hospital saga has taken a new turn as the battle between the Little Company of Mary and the ACT Government goes to the Federal Court. Calvary’s operators sought an injunction against further progress on the acquisition, citing unseemly haste on the government’s part.
But what’s really going on here? Is this battle really about religious rights or reproductive freedom?
And as music lovers mourn the death of Tina Turner, it’s the to reflect on a uniquely Australian phenomenon – the Nutbush! Turns out this dance we know so well from every wedding, birthday party and raucous night out at the pub is not a global institution after all.
Slightly embarrassingly, it’s just us with our knees up. But Ross is ensuring the cultural tradition is passed on.
