AUSTRALIA; GOVERNMENT AID. AUSTRALIA; GOVERNMENT CONTROL, TV. AUSTRALIA; GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS. AUSTRALIA; LAW AND TV. AUSTRALIA; LEGISLATION. AUSTRALIA; PROGRAMME CONTENT. 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

[TV] (AT, 1966-1968); NINE NETWORK; POWER WITHOUT GLORY [TV] (AT, 1976); SEVEN NETWORK; SPECIAL BROADCASTING SERVICE; YELDHAM, PETER Summary: Television drama has been the dominant form of popular storytelling for more than sixty years, shaping the imaginations of millions of people. This book surveys the careers of the central creators of those stories for Australian television—the writers who learnt how to work in a new medium, adapting to its constraints and exploring its creative possibilities. Informed by interviews with many writers, it describes the establishment of Australian television drama production, observing the way writers grasped the creative and business opportunities that television presented. It examines the development of Australian versions of the major television genres—the sitcom, the police drama, the historical series, docudrama, and social drama— presenting a ‘canon’ of significant Australian television drama productions that deserve to be remembered. It offers an account of the emergence of work by Indigenous writers for television and it argues for the consideration of television drama alongside histories of Australian film and stage drama. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781925984880 More info

Publisher: Australian Scholarly Publishing PubDate: 2009 PhysDes: xiv, 251 p, [30] p. of plates : ill. 22cm Subject: SPECIAL BROADCASTING SERVICE; BROADCASTING. AUSTRALIA; SKLOVKSY, GRISHA Summary: " As the Foundation Chairman of SBS Television and Radio, Grisha Sklovsky was a most persuasive international voice in Australian public life, but how he came to be so reveals a remarkable story. By the time Grisha was 24 years of age, in 1939, he had lived through the turmoil affecting Europe since the outbreak of the First World War - and had witnessed much of it. A charming, brilliant, wealthy young Russian, he had led a forcedly peripatetic life in Siberia, Berlin, and France, where he was undertaking doctoral research in the laboratory of a Nobel Prize - winning scientist. War curtailed the promise of these early years. Grisha came to Australia as a refugee from a shattered Europe, but his motivation for coming was his relationship with a young woman from Melbourne, whom he had met and fallen in love with at the very outbreak of war. From vastly different backgrounds, they had kept their emotional bond through years of seperation and uncertainty. Once in Australia, Grisha maintained his wide international circle of friends and contact with family members in Russia, including the renowned scientist Josif Sklovsky. He played an active role in the Australian Institute of International Affairs for more than 40 years. He saw the Special Broadcasting Service as a major contributor and influence in building a new society and was instrumental in overcoming the challenges faced in its establishment. A staff member of SBS, writing of Grisha, would record: 'It took a great talent to sell these ideas to a community which was trying to come to terms with its part on one of the most momentous population movements in history.'
