## Resource

The politics of outrage has become one of the most powerful business models in modern media, with podcasts, social media and algorithms increasingly rewarding anger, conflict and culture wars over evidence and public interest. We examine how journalism is being reshaped by the creator economy, and how billionaire-backed influence, digital platforms and outrage-driven media are transforming democracy in Australia and around the world. #AUSPOL Subscribe to New Politics for weekly briefings and full analysis: www.newpolitics.com.au Support New Politics: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘La Femme d’Argent’, AIR. ‘Rise’, Public Image Limited
