  • Marc Brennan Thesis
    Writing to Reach You: The Consumer Music Press and Music Journalism in the UK and Australia Marc Brennan, BA (Hons) Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre (CIRAC) Thesis Submitted for the Completion of Doctor of Philosophy (Creative Industries), 2005 Writing to Reach You Keywords Journalism, Performance, Readerships, Music, Consumers, Frameworks, Publishing, Dialogue, Genre, Branding Consumption, Production, Internet, Customisation, Personalisation, Fragmentation Writing to Reach You: The Consumer Music Press and Music Journalism in the UK and Australia The music press and music journalism are rarely subjected to substantial academic investigation. Analysis of journalism often focuses on the production of news across various platforms to understand the nature of politics and public debate in the contemporary era. But it is not possible, nor is it necessary, to analyse all emerging forms of journalism in the same way for they usually serve quite different purposes. Music journalism, for example, offers consumer guidance based on the creation and maintenance of a relationship between reader and writer. By focusing on the changing aspects of this relationship, an analysis of music journalism gives us an understanding of the changing nature of media production, media texts and media readerships. Music journalism is dialogue. It is a dialogue produced within particular critical frameworks that speak to different readers of the music press in different ways. These frameworks are continually evolving and reflect the broader social trajectory in which music journalism operates. Importantly, the evolving nature of music journalism reveals much about the changing consumption of popular music. Different types of consumers respond to different types of guidance that employ a variety of critical approaches.

While these are too numerous to list (or even remember for that matter) in this instance, I would nonetheless like to acknowledge and thank everyone who has traversed my life path over the years, for without them I would not be who I am today. There are, however, a number of people who deserve singling out for special mention. Firstly I would like to thank Dr Malcolm Cathcart. It was Malcolm who suggested I embark on doctoral study and introduced me to the Professional Studies Program at the University of Southern Queensland. It was also Malcolm’s encouragement that “sold” me on my ability to undertake doctoral work.

  • Queensland Music's Night of Nights at the Royal
    May 14, 2018 Queensland music’s night of nights at the Royal ICC The state’s best music artists and rising stars will be recognised at the Queensland Music Awards at the Royal International Convention Centre (Royal ICC) tonight. Already an ARIA award-winner, popular Gold Coast singer Amy Shark is leading the way alongside Brisbane band The Jungle Giants with three nominations each – Amy in the pop, regional and singer/songwriter categories and The Jungle Giants in the pop, video and Album of the Year sections. With 23 awards up for grabs, the Queensland Music Awards, run by QMusic, are expected to attract more than 600 music industry identities and fans tonight. The prestigious awards have been running since 2006 and with industry heavyweights including Petrina Convey from Sony Music on the judging panel, they’ve kick-started the careers of many well-known artists including Emma Louise, best known for her song ‘My Head is a Jungle.’ Brisbane Showgrounds General Manager of Venue Sales and Marketing Jago Coyle said it was the first time the Queensland Music Awards had been held at the Royal ICC. “The Brisbane Showgrounds is the perfect venue fit – it has been home to some of the most popular music festivals including Livid, Soundwave, Stereosonic and Laneway for years,” he said. “We’re thrilled to host this event, as it celebrates Queensland music and supports artists and music fans across the state.” The Queensland Music Awards get underway at 6pm. The Brisbane Showgrounds precinct is located just 1.5km from Brisbane’s CBD and is Queensland’s largest indoor / outdoor events site.

  • Factors That Influence Engagement in On-Site Environmentally Responsible
    Factors that influence engagement in on-site environmentally responsible behaviours at music festivals Marisol Alonso Vazquez Bachelor in Foreign Trade Master in Marketing A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 Business School i Abstract The study of on-site environmentally responsible behaviours at outdoor events is important because of the negative environmental degradation that may be caused when hosting these events. Studying these behaviours is especially important at music festivals that are held in protected areas, and/or for festival managers who have an interest in controlling the events’ negative environmental impacts. Despite recent interest by event managers in developing strategies to encourage attendees’ environmentally responsible behaviours, this task is still a challenge because attendees may be disinterested in behaving pro-environmentally in the music festival context. Given this, event managers need to find novel ways to encourage attendees to participate more in on-site environmentally responsible behaviours. To contribute toward finding alternative ways to encourage more participation, this research investigated the major psychographic factors that influence attendees’ engagement in on-site environmentally responsible behaviours at music festivals. To identify these factors, the following research activities were carried out: phone interviews with music festival managers (10 participants); two online questionnaires (pre-visit and post-visit to festivals) across multiple music festivals (1,313 and 420 participants, respectively); and on-site interviews with attendees at a three-day music festival located near an Australian national park (81 participants). The findings of this study reveal that event managers consider it important to build a pro- environmental culture into their event communities in order to capitalise on attendees’ sense of community that may support environmentally responsible behaviours.
