[csaa-forum] Media bits

[Melissa Butcher]

For those that collect interesting bits of media naughtiness, a journo
wrote a story on a talk I gave last night for AAP. 

The headline from AAP:  
AUSTRALIAN EXPATS BATTLE TO BRIDGE ASIAN CULTURAL DIVIDE: STUDY 
(Story complete with misquotes and no context and he left before the end
- his explanation being he only wanted the most 'newsworthy' aspects and
that it was okay to paraphrase me using words I didn't use because he
didn't put inverted commas around them). 

The story was picked up the SMH this morning on the internet and the
headline: 
'AUSTRALIAN EXPAT WORKERS IMMATURE: STUDY'

Sigh! I don't think my research participants will ever speak to me
again. If anyone has any similar examples tho I'd love to start
collecting them. 

Cheers
melissa
