Cross-examination for journalists

Andrew Crosbie
Many will have despaired at the poor questioning of ministers by ill-focused journalists. Andrew Crosbie, a devil, has provided a blog on how journalists should cross-examine politicians and hold them to account.
He writes: “In the dystopian hellscape that is 2020, we have all become accustomed to feelings of despair and frustration on a regular basis. Whether you’re interested in the letter or the spirit of the law (and I would argue that the latter is more important), the restrictions placed on our daily lives by the threat of COVID-19 have necessitated sacrifices from all those determined to abide by them for the greater good.”
