It seems there is significant backlash surrounding the publication of Clive Palmer’s ad regarding gender. The ads have sparked a debate about freedom of speech versus the responsibility of media outlets to promote inclusive messages. It’s understandable that journalists at The Age are upset, as such ads can undermine the work towards equality and can be harmful to marginalized communities. Media organizations must consider the impact of the content they choose to publish and the message they are sending to their readers. It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds and whether there will be any broader discussions about editorial standards in response to these ads.
