Never posted this, but went into journalism believing in journalism
Got a slightly shitty gig, but Barry Carridy's arse shone the chair I sat in. That felt good. Until I started doing journalism
Turns out the local aged care unit had the lowest rate of COVID vaccination in Victoria, circa 2021, smack bang in the middle of a plague. Kind of a big deal
So I wrote it up, nothing but federal health data and a big ball of that's regrettable
Advertising went nuts. Publishing went nuts. Turns out the hospital who ran the aged-care unit were huge spenders and it would be 'regrettable' to publish such stats
Not being one to back down or take any kind of shit from marketing, ran it up the flag poll to the owner I was certain would back a solid data-yarn.
They did not, waving a wand over 'considerations'. Was ordered to run all future copy past said advertiser
The advertiser. That demonstratively risked the life of every elderly patient in their care
