Truth, Power and a Free Press

Patrick directed and produced a permanent exhibition for the Museum of Australian Democracy, exploring stories from those on the front line for the battle for truth.

Through an immersive, 7 foot tall audio visual display, 12 of Australia’s leading journalists tell us why they do the work they do, the courage it takes and the responsibility they feel for reporting fairly and fearlessly.

You will see objects from Australia’s media history brought together for the first time and hear stories direct from some of Australia’s leading journalists including Joanne McCarthy, Hedley Thomas, Laura Murphy-Oates, Hamish Macdonald, Adele Ferguson and more.

You will leave moved, excited and empowered to navigate filter bubbles, fake news and the importance of trusted media sources in a healthy democracy.

On permanent display at the
Museum of Australian Democracy in
Old Parliament House, Canberra.
