	David Marr (journalist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marr was editor of the ABC program Four Corners (1985, 1990-1991), a role in which he won a Walkley Award and the presenter of Radio National's Arts Today programme (1994-1996).
		During Marr's term as presenter, Media Watch played a key role in exposing the ongoing cash for comment affair, which Media Watch had first raised in 1999, concerning radio commentators Alan Jones and John Laws.
		Marr has been accused of left wing bias, particularly by commentators such as Andrew Bolt, Janet Albrechtsen and Paddy McGuinness who in turn have been labelled as having a right wing bias.

	Fight new philistines, Marr urges writers - smh.com.au
		Novelists and other artists must cease "flinching" from their marginalisation and work "to shake off the new philistinism of John Howard's Australia", the author and journalist David Marr says.
		Delivering the annual Colin Simpson Lecture at the Australian Society of Authors' general meeting at the weekend, Marr derided the "exaltation of the average" among the Prime Minister's "radical populist" supporters, recalling Patrick White's response to a similar problem 50 years ago.
		Marr suggested that political and business "elites" had inverted that term and directed it towards mostly poor and marginal artists.

		Sydney Morning Herald journalist David Marr caused a kafuffle in 2004 when he commented at the ACIJ’s George Munster forum that journalists naturally belonged to “a soft leftie kind of culture”.
		Marr’s comments were seized on by columnists like Paddy McGuinness as proof, not only of his personal bias, but the ABC’s: “the Herald is a commercial enterprise and no one is compelled to buy it or pay for it.
		Marr was not discussing journalists’ political opinions, but rather the underlying “culture” of journalism as “inquiry sceptical of authority”.

		But Marr, a former editor of The Independent, speaks as a media historian rather than a corporation man. His new book, a selective history of his trade, has convinced Marr that the prognosis for newspapers - in fact, journalism in general - is the bleakest for decades.

	Amazon.ca: Patrick White: a Life: Books: David Marr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		His love/hate affair with Australia is the book's undertheme- -but it merely contributes to what is most unmistakable about White as seen by Marr: the incomparably high fidelity of the man-- artistic, personal, social.
		And as the best literary biography ought to do, this one sends us hungrily back to the novels--to see what they encompassed but also, too, to relish how the complexity of the author's own character boosted their art.
		Marr has written a scholarly yet entertaining biography, and you really feel you come to know something about an Australian icon - our only Nobel laureate in literature.
