Pulp is back – unleashed, fresh-faced and raring to go

Fabian Robertson marks the end of Australian media getting Zucked and the beginning of Pulp’s 2021 run.

Facebook rolled back its ban of Australian news today, restoring Pulp’s sphere of influence and unleashing three hungry editors onto your news feeds.

The end to Zuckerberg’s reign of terror (for now) coincides with the beginning of Pulp’s 2021 run, possibly indicating his keen interest in alternative student publications that strike a unique balance between hard-hitting journalism and semi-ironic pop culture content. Other schools of thought may point to the Federal Government keeling amidst negotiations for a new media bargaining code. The code forces Facebook to pay Australian news outlets for the content shared on their platform. In what was an aggressive powerplay, Facebook blocked Australian news from its platform for 8 days. Consequently, Frydenberg and the Libs amended the code, appeasing Facebook enough for them to repeal the ban.

Whichever the reason behind Facebook’s compliance, the result is the same - Pulp is unleashed, fresh-faced and raring to go in 2021.
