On Wednesday, the NewsCorpAus CEO said they only published a “modest number” of articles on the ABC’s coverage. This is what their media section looked like this morning. I've circled the one (1) piece that's not about Stan Grant or the ABC buff.ly/3ICqcNu

Stan Grant’s monarchy truth bombs were perfectly timed. If not now, then when?

Osman Faruqi and I spoke to 20+ First Nations and non-white current and former staff of the ABC for this story. Racism is a problem media-wide, but many feel Aunty needs a cultural shift.

I work on Q+A's social media and I see racist abuse every day. You might be shocked by who's writing it
I work as the social media producer for Q+A and have seen the things some of you write about Stan Grant. If you knew what your relatives and close friends are saying behind the comfort of their screen, you would be horrified, writes Neryssa Azlan.

I decided to share my experience as the social media producer for @QandA
After Stan’s departure, I’ve seen a lot of finger-pointing by individuals and media organisations. I wrote this article as a reminder of how we could all be complicit.

Here's the proof an enormous number of accounts were created at once to abuse #Yes23 supporters. They do not have a local feel & have similar lines. I think it is clear someone has paid for them. Who benefits? I hope people keep investigating watoday.com.au/politics/feder…
