My slides and transcript for my introductory talk at the final National Museum of Australia Talkback Classroom (http://www.nma.gov.au/education/talkback_classroom) on 25 June 2008. The theme of the event was Youth and the Media. I sat on a panel with Walkley Award winning journalist and presenter, Steve Cannane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Cannane) from the ABC and Jenny Buckland, CEO of the Australian Children's Television Foundation (http://www.actf.com.au/index.htm) as we were questioned by a very smart bunch of university and senior high school students on our knowledge and opinion of their engagement with various forms of media.
