The Chaser is a satirical media empire which rivals Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation in all fields except power, influence, popularity and profitability. Founded in 1999 as an independent satirical newspaper produced out of a spare bedroom by editors Charles Firth, Craig Reucassel, Julian Morrow, Dominic Knight (and later joined by the far more talented Andrew Hansen, Chas Licciardello and Chris Taylor) the Chaser team has since gone on to weasel their way into every corner of Australian media, including print, online, radio, television and Christmas crackers. Since 2015, it has become a leading independent digital publishing company fostering a whole new generation of degenerates. Best known for their wildly popular ABC TV series’, including CNNNN and the War on Everything, and their much less popular ABC TV series including Election Desk and The Chaser Burns Down A Children’s Hospital together the team have produced over 15 TV and radio shows, losing a host of comedy awards and lawsuits in the process.
