This criticism has come from within the Australian society and from the developing world itself. This collection of essays aims to take a comprehensive look at the ways in which Australian newspapers, radio and television do cover the news and issues emanating from the Third World. Should we expect and demand better coverage or are the constraints - economic and social - within our own society too overwhelming." - FROM INTRODUCTION ISBN: 0644097280 ISSN: 0819-4815 More info

book		The media are American : Anglo-American media in the world / Jeremy Tunstall London, UK: Constable and Co., 1977. Call No: 401.1 TUN Author: Tunstall, Jeremy Source: UK Place: London, UK Publisher: Constable and Co. PubDate: 1977 PhysDes: 352 p. : ill. ; 22 cm Series: Communication and Society Subject: MEDIA; JOURNALISM; NEWS PROGRAMMES.USA; NEWS PROGRAMMES.; NEWS PRESENTATION Summary: "The popular press, feature films, hit parades, and commercial TV were all invented in the USA, then imported, and copied, by all other nations. Such cheap imports expand whole national media systems, shifting emphasis from print to electronic media. And just a handful of Anglo-American news and news film agencies select the images for the whole world's perception of international political reality. The author vividly contrasts India's Hollywood-style film industry with the BBC-style All India Radio; he shows how Germany, Italy and Japan had Anglo-American media patterns imposed on them in 1945; he explains how the media of South America caricature those of the North; he describes the Soviet Union's defensive posture. But why is English the media language? How did Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa join the Anglo-American media team? What is the significance of Britain's long history of both media importing and exporting; and why did the very successful French media empire eventually collapse? The author discusses the contribution of Unesco, the CIA and EEC to American media exports. But he rejects any simple 'media imperialism' thesis. For most countries media importing is the 'least worst' solution to a continuing problem: how to have modern media without paying the enormous price of making all the maericals at home."-BOOK BLURB Notes: includes bibliographic references; includes index ISBN: 0094615101 Contents: -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Part One: News, Entertainment, Advertising...and Imperialism? -- 1.

AUSTRALIA; TELEVISION; TELEVISION JOURNALISM; TELEVISION JOURNALISM. AUSTRALIA; [FOUR] 4 CORNERS [TV] (AT, 1961-) Summary: "In the fifty years it's been on air, Four Corners has broken more stories, triggered more headlines, generated more controversy and aired more high quality investigative journalist than any other program in Australia. In today's world of 24-hour news cycles it is an anarchronism, "a television miracle" as Kerry O'Brien puts it in his introduction to this book. But when it first went to air, no-one expected it to last. Now to mark its 50th anniversary, many of the program's most renowned journalists and producers look back on their biggest stories - from war, famines, and terrorism to indigenous rights, reproductive rights, and corruption in all corners of the globe. They take readers through the dramas and intrigue involved in bringing stories which anger people in high places to air. They tell what happened away from the cameras as well as on, share moments of humour and pathos and reflect on the vital role played by the ABC's flagship news program.
