Bond University associate professor of creative media James Birt told ABC Radio the term "speed running" came from video games.

    Journalists don't research in 2026. They either copy/paste what their editors tell them to, or get AI to write their articles.

    I exaggerate. There are many fine investigative journalists out there who deserve more recognition that they get. No I won't list them.

    But you can! Who are some of your favourite serious journalists?
