The Nightly On has released its latest premium magazine edition, The Nightly On: Influence, examining the Australians shaping how audiences think, react, travel, eat and engage with public life.
The edition, released Thursday, 18 June, focuses on the power of persuasion across media, politics, business and culture. It looks at how influence is built, sustained and communicated to audiences.
The issue features a range of figures described as “influencers” in the broader sense of the word, from Lucy and Nikki’s rise as media personalities to Governor-General Sam Mostyn and her push for greater social cohesion.
It also examines the role of Instagram, Barnaby Joyce’s impact on traditional politics, and the global consequences of decisions made by Rio Tinto boss Simon Trott.
What is The Nightly On: Influence about?
The Nightly On: Influence explores how power operates in modern Australia, and how individuals build audiences willing to listen. The edition looks beyond social media influence to include business, government, politics and media.
Sarah-Jane Tasker, Editor of The Nightly, said influence can appear in different forms.
“Influence doesn’t always look the way we expect it to, sometimes it’s loud and visible, sometimes it’s built steadily over time through trust, consistency and action.
“To influence you first need an audience that is willing to listen, and the people featured in this edition are those currently commanding that attention.”
