Sky News Australia launches The Media Show with Jack Houghton
Houghton will also write a weekly column at skynews.com.au
Sky News Australia has revamped its Friday night media show. After 100 episodes, Sky News host Chris Kenny has said goodbye to Kenny on Media and hands over the reins to Jack Houghton to host The Media Show airing Fridays at 8pm AEST.
As digital editor at Sky News, Houghton will also contribute a weekly column published every Friday on the new-look SkyNews.com.au dissecting media outlets within the Australian media landscape calling out gaffes, inaccuracies and convenient mistruths.
Jack Houghton said: “As 12 million Australians are plunged back into lockdown this week, it has never been more important for people to understand how the media works and how narratives are shaped. On The Media Show we will be exposing misinformation to drive a particular narrative and break down the biggest media stories of the week.
“I'm also incredibly excited that this show launches alongside the revamped SkyNews.com.au website which will feature my new media column and will be the centrepiece of our multi-media digital network which reaches millions of people every day.”
Houghton has over a decade of reporting in newspapers around the country. Since commencing at Sky News two years ago, he was a regular on Kenny on Media dissecting the highs and lows of news reporting.
The Media Show will premiere exclusively on Fridays at 8pm AEST across Sky News on Foxtel and regional free-to-air channel Sky News on WIN.
The leading media trade publication in Australia.
