    The Call Sheet: Peter Greste on seeing his story told on the big screen
    May 13 2025
    Welcome to The Call Sheet – the latest News Club series. This time, we’re turning the spotlight on the people behind what we watch, listen, and stream - the people shaping Aussie entertainment. Kicking things off is journalist Peter Greste, whose real-life story has just hit the big screen. The Correspondent is based on his book and follows his arrest and imprisonment in Egypt back in 2013. Peter talks about his harrowing story, seeing that chapter of his life brought to life on film, and what it was like being portrayed by Richard Roxburgh. Want more News Club in your life?

    Newsmakers with Mandi Wicks
    Apr 15 2025
    Mandi Wicks has been running the news division at SBS for nearly five years. She’s a former journo who’s also led SBS’s audio and language content. We wanted to chat to Mandi because SBS plays a unique role in our media landscape. It’s taxpayer-funded, and its job is to reflect Australia’s multicultural society. So in a time when trust in the media is under pressure and audiences are tuning out, we're curious...how’s SBS thinking about all that? Want more News Club in your life? We've got you...

    Weekly Wrap: The art of the tariff, Meta in the hot seat, and a tragic mix-up
    Apr 11 2025
    Dire wolves are back from extinction (kinda), and after sending shockwaves through the stock market with his tariff announcement, Donald Trump has hit pause on new tariffs for most of the US’s trading partners. We dive into both those stories, plus look at what’s ahead for Meta as it faces fresh scrutiny and the heartbreaking news that an IVF error has led to a woman giving birth to a stranger’s baby.
