James Frost - Business Journalist

The Australian - Dec 29, 2011

A late but compelling entry for AWJ 2011 has come in. The so called "business journalist" James Frost at The Australian recently contacted one of our contributors for an interview with the intention to write a story to be published in The Australian newspaper. The terms and subject matter of the interview were agreed, points of order for the article were researched by James Frost and agreed to. From all accounts the interview went well.

Despite all of James Frost's representations both verbally and in writing he resorted to an inventive story, a cocktail of lies, manipulation of information, deliberately degrading the interviewees, the use of irrelevant photos that was promised would not be used, not performing relevant research, or ignoring such relevant research so as to bias the story.

Jill Singer - Journalist

Herald Sun - Nov 30, 2011

Jill Singer has authored an article on Page 35, Herald Sun, November 30 which holds Dr Geoffrey Edelsten up to ridicule and contempt, and is in fact defamatory.  Singer does not know the Dr and her article is based upon media material which has not been properly researched, if at all.

Her effort is disgraceful, and her vitriol and sarcasm based on complete untruths has caused her to be voted one of Australia's Worst Journalists, see Australia's Worst Journalist Awards 2009 and Australia's Worst Journalist Awards 2010.
