Description
To round out the year, we asked 250 of the biggest names in media what stuck with them, whether it was the best journalism they'd consumed or the smartest move they'd seen.
Summary
The article showcases the perspectives of 250 prominent figures in the Australian media industry on the most impactful journalism and strategic moves of 2025. It reflects on the year, which was marked by significant media events like the federal election and various scandals. However, it doesn’t directly engage with AI safety, governance, or existential risks, instead focusing on media industry dynamics. Thus, it lacks content specifically related to AI safety policy or catastrophic AI risks.
Body
This is the third 2025 instalment of an annual Crikey series, Movers and Shakers.
Please note that the 2025 Movers and Shakers survey was sent out and responses received before the horrific events of December 14 on Bondi Beach.
This year in Australian media, we grappled with a federal election and who was allowed to tell political stories, grim scandals were manufactured, sales and mergers came and went, and Nick McKenzie continued doing Nick McKenzie things.
