Media Watch (formerly Media Watch: The Last Word[citation needed]) is an Australian media analysis and political opinion television program currently presented by Paul Barry for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).[1] The program focuses on critiquing the Australian media together with its interconnections, including with politics.[1]
In 1999, Media Watch played a key role in revealing the unethical behaviour of radio talkback hosts, which became known as the cash for comment affair and was the subject of an investigation by what was then the Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA).
