Commercial Radio Australia MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL 11.30PM AEDT 10 October 2015 10.30 PM QLD, 8.30 PM WA Award winning radio veteran Jeremy Cordeaux inducted into Radio Hall of Fame Radio veteran and award winning journalist Jeremy Cordeaux was inducted into the Commercial Radio Hall of Fame at the 27th annual Australian Commercial Radio Awards. The Sydney born but undisputed king of talkback radio in Adelaide was honoured for his outstanding lifetime achievement and contribution to the radio broadcasting industry at a gala ceremony, attended by more than 1000 of his industry peers at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre. With a career spanning more than 50 years across radio, television and print, plus extensive work for Australian charities, Cordeaux‟s career started in radio as an office boy and moved on air as a presenter, then into management as a programme manager, managing director and owner of three successful radio stations. He started at 2GB at the age of 16 and then moved to 2GF Grafton. In 1973 Cordeaux took over the John Pearce Morning Show on Radio 2GB. In 1974 he was promoted to the Breakfast Show. He moved to Adelaide in 1976 to pursue talk back opportunities, ahead of 2GB‟s conversion to a Rock „n‟ Roll format. The following 30 years saw Cordeaux‟s morning show, The Court of Public Opinion on 5DN, top the Adelaide ratings. While on air, Cordeaux acquired a ten percent interest in 5DN and six months later was promoted to Managing Director. In 1990, Jeremy Cordeaux sold his interest in 5DN and bought radio stations 5AD and 5SE. Four years later he set up the first „radio combo‟, owning and running the highly successful number one FM station 5AD and the number one AM talk station 5DN, all while continuing to present his morning talk show from 9am till 1pm. In 1996, Cordeaux sold his company to the Australian Radio Network. He remained on-air for the next ten years before retiring from 5DN in 2004. Throughout his career, Cordeaux has won numerous awards for radio, including a Walkley Award in 1984 for best current affairs show in Australia, three gold medals from the International Radio Festival of New York and has been recognised for his service to the industry and community with an Order of Australia Award. In 2014 Cordeaux returned on air in the evening slot on FIVEaa. He commented at the time: “I decided to take my own long service leave, but I never wanted to retire. I‟m glad I had time to recharge the batteries, smell the roses, wash the cars, but I‟m very excited to be getting back on air on FIVEaa.” In September this year, FIVEaa announced Cordeaux would move from evenings to afternoons. Cordeaux and his wife, Caroline Peacock live in Adelaide and have one son, and Jeremy has three adult children from a previous marriage. Commercial Radio Australia chief executive officer, Joan Warner said: “Congratulations to Jeremy on an outstanding career both on and off air in radio and all the best as he continues to produce engaging talk back radio on FIVEaa.” The Hall of Fame recipients are nominated by industry peers and are selected by an executive level judging committee. Previous inductees include last year‟s, radio executive Peter Harvie, Kevin Blyton, Graham Mott, Tony Pilkington, Derryn Hinch, Neil Mitchell, John Laws, Bob Rogers, Gary O‟Callaghan, Paul Thompson, Bob Francis, Rod Muir and the late Frank Hyde. The Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs) are organised by Commercial Radio Australia and cover all metropolitan, provincial and country commercial radio stations, with winners announced for each of these areas in 33 categories, across news, talkback, sport and music.

Much work has looked at the details of national and international climate change policy, but no one has addressed whether any of this effort is likely to make a real difference, and what the broader factors are that account for policy changes. Will be attractive both for scholars of climate change and for policy makers.” PETER HAAS, University of Massachusetts, Amherst Climate change is a global phenomenon that requires a global response, and yet climate change governance depends on the ability of individual states to respond to a long-term, uncertain threat. Although states are routinely criticized for their inability to respond to such threats, the problems that arise from their attempts to respond are frequently overlooked. Focusing on the experiences of India, Spain, and Australia, Hayley Stevenson shows how these countries have struggled to integrate global norms around climate change governance with their own deeply unsustainable domestic systems, leading to profoundly irrational ecological outcomes. hal y Ey stevEnSon is Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Sheffield.

    Australian Studies in Journalism 9: 2000,News pp.139-175 Media Chronicle 139 News media chronicle, July 1999 to June 2000 Rod Kirkpatrick he Australian Broadcasting Authority’s cash-for-comment inquiry into endorsement deals done between major institutions Tand talkback radio comperes grabbed centre stage during the year under review. The deals negotiated with Sydney radio talkback comperes John Laws and Alan Jones were central to the inquiry. The cross-media ownership laws continued to engage media proprietors and politicians in debate, especially when a forum such as the Productivity Commission inquiry into broadcasting was available. There was a changing of the guard at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, with the departure of one managing director, Brian Johns, and the arrival of another, Jonathan Shier. The federal government stuck to the straight and narrow with its digital broadcasting legislation, passed at year’s end. The established commercial networks were given the go-ahead to move into high- definition digital TV from 1 January, 2001. Would-be competitors had the door slammed in their faces. On the newspaper scene, it seems to be only a matter of time until Sydney and Melbourne have free commuter newspapers inspired by the success of Metro, a similar paper in London. The John Fairfax group was as close as a touch to launching one in May and held back only when News Ltd threatened to launch another in opposition. Cross-media laws Communications Minister Richard Alston declared in October that the government had gone through too much “pain and grief ” the last time it had tried to change the laws relating to cross-media ownership to make another attempt without the support of Labor.

  • Political Discourse in a Media Saturated Environment: the Howard Government’S Approach to Communicating with the Australian
    Political discourse in a media saturated environment: the Howard Government’s approach to communicating with the Australian electorate David Marshall Faculty of Arts & Design University of Canberra Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Acknowledgements There are many who have contributed to the development of this thesis. Firstly, I acknowledge the guidance and support of my first supervisor, Professor Peter Putnis, from the University of Canberra. Not having an academic background, the challenges of venturing into the complex world of academia is daunting, and Professor Putnis’s assistance was critical as I commenced the journey. Professor Putnis spent five years overseeing the development of my thesis, and I am very grateful for his support. I also thank Professor Warwick Blood as my secondary supervisor. My second supervisor, Associate Professor Kerry McCallum, guided me through the final intensive eighteen months of this research, and I very much appreciate her patience, understanding and invaluable suggestions as the thesis finally took shape. My appreciation goes to former Prime Minister John Howard who graciously contributed to this research by agreeing to see me twice; his cooperation enabled me to meet and interview 85 key players who were active participants in one way or another over the period of the Howard government’s time in office. To those people I owe an enormous debt of gratitude as their first-hand observations added enormously to the thesis’s originality and to the research on the topic of political communication. To those who initiated contact for me with some of these interviewees, in particular former ACT Chief Minister Kate Carnell, I am very grateful.
