- According to new analysis, screen time could damage children more than being born into poverty. The findings from the University of Calgary say higher doses of screen exposure are associated with lower overall academic achievement, poorer language development and emotional and peer problems.
So what’s it actually like to be a 17-year-old on social media? What material are you fed – and how quickly?
Crime and justice reporter Amber Schultz found out after she created new accounts posing first as a teenage boy, and then as a girl.
Today, Schultz talks about her descent into the algorithm and what surprised her.

- It's not too much of an overstatement to say that for over 30 years, Michael Pollan's books have helped reshape conversations about industrial food systems, animal consciousness and our obligations to other living things.
His new book, A World Appears, is about plant sentience – an immersive exploration of how plants exhibit thinking and memory-like behaviours, respond to physical threats, favour their own species and supply nutrients to struggling neighbouring plants.
In this episode, Pollan discusses compelling new research that argues humans are far from the only living entities exhibiting sentience and indeed, "exquisite" awareness of their environment.
Today’s conversation is hosted by Good Weekend senior writer Greg Callaghan.

- The past five decades have witnessed immigration on a scale the globe has never seen before, and countries around the world are convulsing with anti-immigration sentiment. Australia might be an island, but it's no different.
This is a dangerous moment, investigative journalist Eryk Bagshaw argues. Immigration has become a scapegoat because successive governments have lost control of policy levers, and infrastructure has failed to keep up. At the same time, whole swaths of the economy are dependent on temporary migrants.
Bagshaw visited migrant communities both old and new to work out what has gone wrong and what Australia must get right.

- NRL grand-final entertainment falls through, plus finals blockbusters
- Runtime

- Description
- The NRL grand final will be held without a headline pre-game entertainment act after negotiations with Australian artist Tones and I collapsed. The NRL has said it will donate $1 million to junior rugby league in lieu of a payment to a big-time star. With Kylie Minogue set to headline the AFL grand final pre-game entertainment, is this a big fail for the NRL, which wants to establish itself as a global competition?
Plus, top referee Ashley Klein has been dumped for failing to award a penalty in the final minute of Sunday’s Eden Park semi final between the Warriors and Knights. Was the axing warranted and is the scrutiny referees are now under becoming unfair?
This week rugby league journalists Christian Nicolussi and Chris Barrett join sport deputy editor Billie Eder to break down the latest NRL news, and preview this weekend’s preliminary finals matches.
