We’re quizzing Australia’s leading editors on the performance of journalism in Australia over the past year. What major issues did journalists confront in 2015, and what are the challenges in 2016 and beyond? Will we award them an A+, or suggest they could do better?

Hosted by Margaret Simons with Emily Wilson, Simon Crerar and Andrew Holden.

This event is also available as part of a Thursday Day Pass.
