Introduction

Stan Grant left the ABC, citing the media had failed — it had failed him and his family, and it had failed the country.

Last week, he was struck by a stark reminder when the news of the charging of Sam Kerr in the UK led to an enormous amount of coverage that failed to deal with the story with grace, humanity and a real interrogation of what racism means.

Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Stan Grant, on his reflections on the media since he left it and where he finds hope.
