Since the 1980s, mainstream coverage of politics in Australia has become less and less diverse. Debate has narrowed and media power has been concentrated. At the same time, the press sees itself as a player - judge, jury and would-be executioner of leaders and policies. Is this a dangerous case of power without responsibility? When it comes to key issues for the nation, who sets the media agenda and how do they do it? Manne asks how well are we being served by the media?
