Summary: "In recent years the Australian Broadcasting Commission has been racked with storm and strife. 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 BLURB

Summary: "The Packers are the most powerful family in Australia, dwarfing all others. Kerry Packer, the nation's richest man, and his son and heir apparent, James, are titans on the Australian business and political landscape, with extensive interests in media, telecommunications and sport. But the foundations for that wealth and influence were laid well before Kerry was even born, back when Sir Frank Packer, Kerry's father, ruled the Australian media with an iron fist. 'Sir Frank Packer: the young master' is the first definitive biography of this most enigmatic and controversial of business figures, a man who was inducted into the cutthroat world of journalism by his father, R. C. Packer, and created the juggernaut that is Australian Consolidated Press." -- Dust jacket
