  • ABC chair, Kim Williams has lashed out at US podcaster Joe Rogan and new-age media more broadly during a Wednesday address to the Australian Press Club.

The article discusses the criticism directed at Joe Rogan by Ita Buttrose, the chair of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), who described Rogan's podcast as "deeply repulsive." This backlash stems from Rogan's controversial comments and his platforming of contentious figures like Alex Jones, known for promoting conspiracy theories. Buttrose's comments were made during a Senate estimates hearing where she highlighted the contrast between ABC's journalistic standards and the content produced by personalities like Rogan. The article also touches on Rogan's significant influence, with his podcast being one of the most popular globally, and his recent $200 million deal with Spotify, underscoring the tension between mainstream media ethics and the rise of influential, yet controversial, independent media figures.
