Woman’s Day in hot water after breaching broadcaster Chrissie Swan’s privacy. ABC unveils another addition to its podcast offerings. The problem with Love Island. From the Crikey bunker, the biggest issues in media today.

Pap pics breach privacy. Woman’s Day breached radio host Chrissie Swan’s children’s privacy and caused substantial distress by publishing photos of them in March last year under the headline, “It’s McHappy day!”. Swan complained to the Australian Press Council about the article, published with three pictures, about Swan and her three children being photographed going to McDonald’s. Swan complained about the article, saying her children weren’t in the public eye, which Woman’s Day disputed. It told the council that Swan had talked about her kids in her memoir, had talked about them in the media and “had not contacted it at an earlier stage to seek a general agreement to not publish photographs of her children”, the council adjudication said.

The women’s magazine is still recovering from its recent defamation court case brought by actor Rebel Wilson, in which it’s currently appealing a record defamation payout of $4.5 million.

True crime bandwagon. The ABC has announced another true crime podcast this morning called Unravel, to be run alongside two episodes of Australian Story. The first series investigates the death of Mark Haines, a 17-year-old Gomeroi teenager whose body was found on Tamworth train tracks in 1988. The podcast has been funded as part of the ABC’s content ideas lab announced last year.

Last week, The Australian launched its newest true crime podcast, by its chief national correspondent Hedley Thomas, investigating the possible murder of Lynette Dawson. The Oz dutifully reports today that the podcast is very successful, and quoting Katie Page, CEO at podcast sponsor Harvey Norman.

White island. Nine is going in hard promoting its latest, trashiest reality offering. Love Island, hosted by former Bachelorette Sophie Monk, starts next Sunday. The show has been described by Monk as “a really sexy version of Big Brother without [any] body fat”. And as it introduced its first group of cast members it was noted just how white (and shades of fake tan-orange) they were, including by TV presenter Marc Fennell.

Australian reality TV isn’t known for its diversity, especially in the casting of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

Glenn Dyer’s TV Ratings. After Saturday’s wedding blitz and glitz, a bit of a let down last night to return to the now stale fare of Australian TV “reality” programs, such as The Voice (1.28 million nationally), MasterChef (with Nigella Lawson, 1.05 million) and House Rules (1.24 million and the best so far this run). But not for the second part of the Olivia Newton John biopic — 775,000 nationally, down from 1.16 million for the first part a week ago. More hopeless than devoted to you. Nine won total people and the main channels, plus 25 to 54s and 18 to 49s; Seven won 16 to 39s.

In regional areas a win for Seven News with 509,000, with Nine News and House Rules joint second with 443,000 each. Next was The Voice with 401,000 and then the 7pm ABC News with 362,000. Read the rest at the Crikey website.
