大象传媒

Several major news organisations have been excluded from a press briefing at the White House, including The New York Times, CNN and the 大象传媒. President Trump's spokesman, Sean Spicer said he was not going to allow false narratives, false stories and inaccurate facts to get out. Another organisation that was excluded on Friday was Politico. We hear from their White House correspondent, Tara Palmeri. Plus, we visit coal country in the USA to hear how President Trump's plans to revive the coal industry are being received.

Ahead of the Oscars on Sunday, Business Matters has been highlighting one of the less-watched Academy Awards categories - the short documentary. Owen Gleiberman, chief film critic for Variety magazine tells us there is something special about this form of storytelling.

And we look at the stories making the news in Australia with our guest for the hour, Colin Hunton of ABC News in Canberra.
