AUSTRALIA ; TELEVISION ; TELEVISION. AUSTRALIA ; MORECROFT, RICHARD Summary: "Richard Morecroft is a familiar face in Australian homes... from the waist up! Now, in this collection of amusing anecdotes and surprising stories, Richard reveals the lighter side of life for a serious broadcaster. Why does our favourite news anchor have his own halo? Does a baby bat in his shirt help him read the headlines? And what's the worst mistake he's ever made on air? Then there are times when the public and private collide. Beaming into thousands of homes each night guarantees familiarity, but sometimes Richard gets more than he bargains for. Like being hugged and kissed in a lift by a complete stranger...Like being stalked in a car park by senior citizens...Like being accused of having a secret facelift...
Richard Morecroft has been the face of ABC television news for almost two decades. In addition to his familiar nightly news role, he has fronted current affairs and business programs, anchored election broadcasts, written and narrated wildlife and other documentaries, and hosted a range of educational producations.
... and what does he wear under the newsdesk?" -- BOOK BLURBISBN: 0732275105Contents: -- a bit below the belt -- foot in mouth disease -- a little nip and tuck -- the voice of god -- 'is that a flying fox in your pocket...?' -- the ties that blind -- 'im sorry, ill read that again -- getting on famously -- weather...or not -- sound system -- '...and it's good night from him' -- to sleep, perchance to...aargh! -- media exposure -- but I want to be a lion tamer! -- centrefolds and a cold shower -- animal antics -- write off! -- early daze -- twilight zone -- clive hale's eyebrow -- stage fright -- the truth, the whole truth... -- and that's the news to this minute -- richard's bio in brief --

Unforgettably vivid images and thought-provoking, soul-stirring commentary came right into the living room, creating a new and exciting awareness of world events. Documentary became a form of television that could best speak the truth.
The Image Decade describes the evolution of commercial network relevision news and theme documentary during those turbulent years, offering theory, criticism, history, and practical illustrations. Provocative analyses of the work of outstanding documentary producers and reporters at NBC, CBS and ABC are provided, revealing how these men and women brought the great domestic issues, scientific advances and space explorations, war stories from Vietnam, the Middle East and Northern Ireland, and the successive power struggles in Washington into the American home.
Throughout this period, events both wonderful and terrible took place all over the world. Television was there to capture them, with the result that newsgathering became an essential public service offered by the networks. Television documentary took this service one step further by presenting an innovative visual manifestation of history. With its lively descriptions and informative appraisals, The Image Decade sheds a bright light on the major part television news and documentary has played in our lives." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 267-269ISBN: 0803834322 (pbk.); 0803834314LON: 1892916URL status: URL: 'http://-'

The media are American : Anglo-American media in the world / Jeremy Tunstall London, UK: Constable and Co., 1977.
Call No: 401.1 TUNAuthor: Tunstall, Jeremy Source: UKPlace: London, UKPublisher: Constable and Co.PubDate: 1977PhysDes: 352 p. : ill. ; 22 cmSeries: Communication and SocietySubject: 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 BLURBNotes: includes bibliographic references; includes indexISBN: 0094615101Contents: -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Part One: News, Entertainment, Advertising...and Imperialism? -- 1.

Mal Walden was seventeen when he applied for hs first job in media. Starting out as a country radio announcer, he went on to work in Launceston and Melbourne before making the shift to television as a news anchor for channels Seven and Ten.

Each year mal maintained a journal in which he recorded his many serendipitous and life-changing moments. These memories form a record of not only his life as a newsman, but of the evolution of television news." -- BOOK BACK COVERISBN: 9781925367492

AUSTRALIA ; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA ; NEWS PROGRAMMES. AUSTRALIA ; PROGRAMME CHOICE ; PROGRAMME CONTENT. AUSTRALIA ; TELEVISION. AUSTRALIA Summary: "It is shown that audience members actively select amongst available programs on television. This selection is based upon the social role and situational characteristics of the viewer and it is also directly related to the reasons given by viewers for watching television. Patterns of program selection are related to three clusters of needs and reasons. The two most important of these are composed of needs relating to information and diversion. The least important cluster is concerned with the self and social contact. Escape and diversion are needs satisfied by almost any programme; selection is minimal by those viewers expressing these needs. Information needs are best satisfied by news and other informational programmes, while social and self needs are best satisfied by quiz and variety programs, popular drama and movies." - ABSTRACTNotes: Date of publication sourced from Trove
