Social activism has emerged as a driving force behind the increased coverage of global sustainability issues in the news.

This profound influence stems from the relentless efforts of passionate individuals and organizations committed to advocating for environmental and social change.

In recent years, social activists have successfully leveraged the power of social media and grassroots movements to amplify their voices.

Their campaigns have drawn widespread attention to pressing concerns such as climate change, deforestation, and social inequality. As a result, media outlets are dedicating more airtime and column inches to sustainability-related topics.

This surge in coverage has led to greater public awareness and engagement in sustainability efforts.

People worldwide are now more informed and motivated to take action, whether through lifestyle changes, supporting eco-friendly initiatives, or pressuring governments and corporations to adopt sustainable practices.

The increased media attention is not only shaping public discourse but also influencing policy decisions and corporate strategies. Governments and businesses are under growing pressure to align with sustainability goals and demonstrate their commitment to environmental and social responsibility. #featured

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
