"TV journalist and broadcaster Karl Stefanovic cast his departure from Nine’s
Today Show as a win for “free speech”, a framing the world’s richest man Elon
Musk endorsed with “wow”, to millions on X.
But this is not a story about free speech or censorship. It is about journalism
and influence. Stefanovic represents a high-profile example of journalistic
laundering: the transfer of journalism’s hard-earned credibility into a rapidly
growing alternative media sphere.
If Cory Doctorow’s term “enshittification” describes the degradation of digital
platforms, journalism laundering describes the repurposing of journalistic
credibility in ecosystems where attention, not editorial standards, is the
primary currency."
