As part of upstart’s expedition to Canberra coinciding with the 2013 federal budget, our trio of intrepid political reporters sat down with some parliamentary personalties – most of the time, in front of a camera.
In the first of our interviews, upstart editor Liam Quinn spoke to ABC journalist and presenter Chris Uhlmann, about the performance of the Australian press, the disconnect between Canberra and the rest of the country, and the role of independent publications in today’s media climate.
Liam Quinn is a third-year Bachelor of Journalism student at La Trobe University, and the editor of upstart. You can follow him on Twitter: @liamquinn23
