Paul Genoni and Tanya Dalziel’s article on the TV doco So Long Marianne, which argues that the show misleads viewers by depicting a relationship between Leonard Cohen and Charmian Clift. They think about what it means to fabricate stories about the lives of those who are no longer here. insidestory.org.au/the-affai…

This is a fantastic, detailed, rich essay on the Jamie Oliver issue, containing five very useful tips from Jeanine Leane for non-Indigenous authors (including checking out AustLit's BlackWords).
Jamie Oliver wrote First Nations characters the wrong way. Non-Indigenous writers need to listen to Indigenous writers first.
Jeanine Leane and Elizabeth Smyth explain how - with 5 tips from Jeanine. @ConversationEDUtheconversation.com/jamie-ol…
