There have been big changes for respected broadcaster Stan Grant recently–just last week, it was reported that Stan had left ABC as a full-time employee.

Now, Stan has provided more details about why he stepped down from ABC and what’s next for his career.

Stan acknowledged that he had quit as a full-time employee and said there is 'no bad blood' with ABC. He also plans to collaborate with them on future projects.

‘The ABC is precious to me, and so are its people. For now, I need to go in a different direction, but I will always consider ABC family. I look forward to working with you all again some time,’ says Stan.

Stan went on to say that his hopes to change the ‘toxic’ global news culture by working on something constructive is the reason he had walked away from both ABC and the media after four decades.

He has now been appointed as the inaugural Director of the Constructive Institute Asia Pacific in the Faculty of Arts at Monash University.

At Monash University, Stan will be leading projects and debates fostering media integrity.

'There is no better person to lead the advocacy for a more solutions-focused, democratic approach to journalism,' Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Professor Katie Stevenson, said.

She added: 'Beyond the Institute’s mission, our media students will have the privilege of drawing upon Stan’s rich experience and knowledge of media and his passion to change news culture for the better.'

For Stan, his new role at Monash University is an ‘incredibly exciting’ opportunity.

He said: 'It aligns with my values and draws on my 40 years in journalism, as well as my commitment to doing public interest journalism better in a way that serves the public at a time when the stakes couldn’t be higher for our country and for the world.'

ABC News Director Justin Stevens has commented on Stan Grant’s departure and said: ‘This is a role that clearly aligns with Stan’s desire to lead a conversation in Australian media about how media can foster a more constructive and kinder discourse.’

‘We respect Stan’s decision, and we hope he will still be a contributor for ABC in the future from this new role. The ethos behind it aligns with our endeavour to make our journalism more constructive at a time where the media sector is seeing increasing levels of news avoidance and news fatigue,’ he added.

What is News Fatigue?

News fatigue is a phenomenon involving feelings of being overwhelmed, stressed, or exhausted by the constant stream of news, particularly when most of it is negative.

In today’s digital age, the ever-present nature of news via multiple platforms can make it difficult for some people to stay on top of current events without feeling overwhelmed.

How can we manage News Fatigue?

As we engage more with news and current events, news fatigue can pose significant stress. Taking steps to manage our news consumption can lessen the impact of news fatigue.

One way to lessen the impact is by limiting time spent absorbing the news, particularly before bed.

Another is by being selective about the sources we read from.

Moreover, Stan Grant's career shift is necessary in today's fast-paced media–moving away from relentless negativity in the news and towards more balanced, solution-focused reporting could be the antidote to news fatigue.

This innovative approach is not just about managing stress–it’s a mission to reshape journalism and the dire state of global news culture.

And here at the SDC, we also try to manage news fatigue by sending daily newsletters with news that matters to you so members do not need to search through hundreds of daily news.

Ever since Stan has been on Q&A he has used the program to assert racial separatism..Only one perspective is ever focused on favourably , typical of left wing attitude which is not what people expect from the National broadcaster .The opinions shared are not balanced, just didactic,critical and overbearing in tone .
I and many others are switching away from watching the unpleasant and obvious dislike of centre right political entities and attitudes!!
Belittling colonialism on the day of the coronation was inappropriate on such a historic day ..
Whatever the attitude of Monarchs prior to King George, he and our Queen and now King Charles have endeavoured to further the cause of indigenous peoples in the Commonwealth and everywhere ..
Large amounts of money and aid are spent every year on the social problems of remote people ..If anything like the Voice, is going to work for indigenous people ,they will need to meet this attitude halfway and take responsibility for their own ,often anti social behaviour..
I watched the SBS news tonight and they claimed threads like this were a 'torrent of hateful and racist comments'. Typical SBS and Grant, always making everything racist and Grant playing the victim as usual. It now seems that any critique of comments on indigenous persons is automatically racist and hateful according to these race baiters.
I've looked through these comments and others on similar threads I can't find a single one that mentions his race, skin colour or anything else slightly racist other than simple comments, most calling it like it is. For SBS and Grant to play the race card like this is what we can expect if the Yes vote gets up.
If it wasn't for Colonization Stan Grant and the likes of Lidia Thorpe wouldn't exist. I often wonder if these two stop and consider that ? The rubbish they pedal is over the top and annoying. I hope the next to go is Thorpe.
If his comments that British colonization had only a NEGATIVE effect on indigenous Australians, how does he explain his employment as a reporter/presenter????
That NEGATIVE effect has paid his wages for decades. What is it Stan????
Now we need the 'presenters' of THE DRUM to quit. That too, is full of racist commentary.

I used to have a lot of respect for Stan Grant.

That went out the door when he hosted Q&A

 

[Jono888]

Wow, I can scarcely believe the negativity being heaped on Stan Grant here. But then again this is a seniors forum so I guess it's just portraying the innate conservatism and stereotypical right wing mind set of much of that generation.
I've always found Stan to be a very well informed, articulate, mild mannered and fair journalist and presenter. His retreat from the ABC is to their loss. May he bounce back and thrive on his new path and may we be blessed with his questions, insights and calm wisdom for many years to come.

I would have thought if he has worked for 4 decades he might have retired

You're getting a bit personal there aren't you Verdexon? A comment like that would suggest that wisdom has never bothered to come anywhere near you.

It is usually futile to try and talk to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance!
