Honing my Jones

0 Comments 09 October 2012

The poor parrot, lately he’s been out of his cage causing a racket. Alan Jones has been a powerful force in Australian media for a very long time. It’s been said that his influence can make or break Prime Ministers. However lately he seems to be losing that golden touch. Traditional media in all forms is becoming flatter, and [...]
