AUSTRALIA; PUBLIC BROADCASTING. AUSTRALIA; SPECIAL BROADCASTING SERVICE; STATE AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA Summary: "The life and works of 'Aunty', the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, continue to be the subject of public debate and often heated controversy, but they are seldom analysed in any depth. In this book Glyn Davis sets out to take the ABC apart, layer by layer, to reveal the contradictions in purpose and form which bedevil Australia's public broadcasting network. Emphasising the interplay between the ABC and its social and political context, Breaking Up the ABC subjects the recent internal reforms to careful scrutiny. Will these reforms end 'Aunty's' perennial difficulties? Or is the organisation doomed to permanent crisis? Can the corporation, as David Hill hopes, win back an audience and the political support crucial to its continuing existence? Having broken up the institution, how should the pieces be rearranged? This book offers new combinations to ensure the continuing viability of public broadcasting in Australia."--BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes list of abbreviations, bibliographic references and index -- cover illustration and design by John Windus ISBN: 0043370047 Donation: Donated by Mike Counihan More info

AUSTRALIA; LEGISLATION. AUSTRALIA; PORNOGRAPHY ON TV; RATING FOR TV. AUSTRALIA; SEX AND TV; VIOLENCE ON TV. AUSTRALIA Summary: "Program classification issues have long been at the core of a heated public debate focusing on what can be shown on television. Because television is readily accessible to nearly all people of all ages, it is accepted that program standards are required to regulate what we are able to watch on television. However, any government regulation of television programs still raises sensitive issues. On the one hand, there is concern that even the most indirect intrusion into programming can destroy artistic intention and creativity. On the other hand, community opinion indicates that television and broadcasting in general, should maintain certain social objectives [...] This monograph is concerned principally with public attitudes to classification issues: namely, sex, violence and offensive language and knowledge of the classification system" - FROM INTRODUCTION ISBN: 0642168857 More info
