This entertaining and deeply revealing book offers readers riveting insights into the quirks and foibles of some of the most powerful politicians and media executives this country has produced. A controversial figure throughout his quarter of a century as a daily editor, Chris Mitchell still maintains close regular contact with past prime ministers, editors and media CEOs. Making Headlines highlights the judgements and thinking that govern daily newspaper journalism at the highest level and the battles fought to publish tough stories about the rich and the powerful, the disenfranchised and the powerless. Making Headlines is compulsory reading for citizens who care, the political class inside the beltway and beyond, and wannabe journalists in search of a job.

As editor-in-chief of The Australian Chris Mitchell ran into the ground this intellectually limited mouth piece owned by a US plutocrat. A loss making publication it has failed to make a cent even with the largest editorial budget in the country for more than twelve years. This complete fantasy, deeply reveals to the white mono cultured male over 55 reader who will read this drivel without thought, hardly anything insightful into the quirks and foibles of some of the most powerful politicians and phone hacking News Corp media executives that fit into it's limited world view.
Though a controversial figure due to being derisively called The Order of Lenin Hunter by those who have known him throughout his quarter of a century as a daily editor, Chris Mitchell maintained close regular contact with past prime ministers, editors and media CEOs and with that has blown whatever credibility he ever had with any of them by revealing all private and confidential conversations. Making Headlines highlights his bad judgements and thinking that has caused a massive circulation drop of the only national daily newspaper, now nicknamed the Qantus Club times due to it being the only place one can find this garbage newspaper. His journalism is of such the poor level that he actually writes columns bitching about youth radio to the only readers he has, generally over 55 year old middle class males who have forgotten their own youth and also think that they have had a tough life. He really thinks he has fought battles to publish tough stories about not only youth radio but historians he dislikes and that toughest of all battles, defending his plutocratic boss's deranged world view.
Making Headlines is compulsory reading for the only class that care about this rot, that being the political class who live in the rarefied air of never having worked hard in their life and wannabes of the lowest of the low in terms of employment, journalists.
