The Power and the Myth of Alan Jones
Book • 2006
This book by Chris Masters provides a detailed and probing portrait of Alan Jones, a powerful and influential Australian radio host.
It delves into Jones's complex personality, his ability to wield and abuse power, and his paradoxical nature of being both admired and reviled.
The biography covers his career, including his days as a teacher and coach, his involvement in scandals such as the 'cash for comment' affair, and his impact on politics and media.
Masters also examines Jones's sexuality and how it has been concealed, which he argues is a defining feature of Jones's behavior.
The book is a critical analysis of Jones's influence and the broader implications for Australian media and politics.
