AUSTRALIA ; CHILDREN'S TELEVISION FOUNDATION ; AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION ; AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING COMMISSION ; GYNGELL, BRUCE ; EDGAR, PATRICIA ; WINNERS (AT, 1984 -) ; ROUND THE TWIST [TV] (AT, 1988-) Summary: This is a candid memoir written by one of Australian television’s most influential policy makers and regulators. Dr Edgar reminisces about her childhood in Mildura and charts her rise in the television industry, particularly as an innovator in Australian children’s television production. She also gives a detailed account of her position as the first woman appointed to the Australian Broadcasting Control Board, and how for over ten years, she fought for more locally produced children’s television content. As a result of this, Dr Edgar helped to establish the Australian Children’s Television Foundation in the early 1980s, and has since gone on to collaborate with the BBC, Disney and Revcom in a series of co-productions. Bloodbath also takes into account the author’s struggles and triumphs in the Australian Television industry, especially with political and economic change, and the impact of the global marketplace.Notes: Includes index.

AUSTRALIA Summary: "Frank Dixon presents an informative history of the Australian Broadcasting Commission covering its gradual expansion during the years 1936-50. As the author says in his Introduction , 'If a book can be said to have a purpose, this one has. It is to tell as objectively as possible how, away back in the mid-forties, a handful of idealistically - minded journalists were able to convince the government of the day that in the interests of Australian democracy the national broadcasting instrumentality should have its own news service, free of newspaper, political and advertising ties'. Frank Dixon describes personalities and events in fine detail - overseas news, the Pacific war, Japanese propoganda, the ABC Journal, parliamentary reporting, etc. While maintaining a chatty atmosphere Frank Dixon always keeps in the foreground the consequences of the policies of the ABC and the various governments and how they have affected Australian life." -BOOK JACKETNotes: Includes indexISBN: 0725601566Donation: donated by the family of Wayne Levy, 2006Contents: -- introduction -- 1. the beginning of a way of life -- 2. independent news --- 3. the problems involved -- 4. the ever present: government and politics -- 5. supplying a news service -- 6. the work of the commission -- 7. the war continues -- 8. subject matter and Cleary -- 9. men against men -- 10. debating never ceases -- 11. the government again -- 12. changes -- 13.

AUSTRALIA ; BLAIN, ELLIS Summary: "The Australian Broadcasting Commission has for decades been accepted as a vital part of our cultural life. But recent troubled times - of renewed government pressures - have inspired close examination of the whole fabric of our broadcasting system by friend and foe alike. Ellis Blain has worked intimately with the ABC for forty years, and is uniquely placed to analyse its structure, policies, and philosophy. His insight into the many aspects of its commitment casts illumination on its direction during the reigns of Chairmen Cleary, Boyer, Darling, Madgwick, Downing and Bland and General Managers Moses and Duckmanton. Finance, the commissioners, staff relations, evaluation by ratings and the future course for the ABC within the total broadcasting context are matters of important concern that are fully discussed.

The public mud-slinging and political gesturing that has kept it in the news have been accompanied by the simmering background of internal wars that affect the media monolith. Professor Richard Harding has been a man inside the ABC - among the men with the hottest seats and the best views of the bloody circus, the Commissioners. His brilliant observation of the events that have occurred in his time at the ABC gives a fresh insight into many of the issues that made headlines - the Bland affair, the staff commissioner, the continuing crisis and cries of "bias" in current affairs programmes, 2JJ and access radio, FM, the department of the media, the sports coverage tangle, etc. The effects of politics and government funding on the Australian Broadcasting Commission, and the role of the ABC as an opinion maker are seen in a realistic light from the centre of affairs." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographic references and indexISBN: 0725103159Donation: donated by the family of Wayne Levy, 2006
