  • A Digital Agenda1

    A Digital Agenda1

    SRJ 35.1 v1 26/3/02 2:15 PM Page 21 A DIGITAL AGENDA1 Jock Given Abstract This article discusses progress with the introduction of digital TV and radio in Australia and the implications for Australian public service broadcasters. It argues that digital technologies provide powerful tools for the ABC and the SBS to apply to their existing activities. However, realising this potential will be expensive. It also brings with it some threats to the independence of the organizations. The article concludes by suggesting that, even if Australia’s public service broadcasters did not already exist, many of their central characteristics would be invaluable features in some organizations with a central role in the emerging media and communications landscape. These characteristics include their particular institutional structures, their size, their primary emphasis on “content,” and the comprehensiveness or inclusiveness of their mandates. Introduction This paper is primarily about Australian public service broadcasting. Thinking about its future is sometimes confused by applying to it the frames derived elsewhere, where public service broadcasters are very different. Australian public service broadcasting comprises two broadcasting institutions, the ABC and the SBS, which both offer TV and radio services and whose primary responsibilities are to offer “comprehensive” and “multicultural” services respectively. This is significantly different from even those countries with whom compar- isons are most often drawn: the UK, where all free-to-air TV broad- casters have carried “public service responsibilities” (see for example Department of National Heritage 11–13) and the “niche” broadcaster Channel 4 does not provide radio services; New Zealand, where there are separate public corporations providing TV and radio services; and Canada, where there is a single, national public service broadcaster.

The debate was continuing at the end of the 12 months under review, for the Productivity Commission was inquiring into media ownership rules, content regulations, licence fees and the impending switch from analogue to digital technologies. Some media proprietors were suggesting the new technologies were making the old laws obsolete. At John Fairfax Holdings, another year, another chief executive. Bob Muscat became the third Fairfax CEO in three years to resign. Editor John Lyons departed sacked or otherwise, depending on your source. And there was an exodus of other key Fairfax editorial personnel to The Bulletin in the wake of Max Walshs departure to become editor-in-chief. The major shareholder, Brierley Investments Ltd, sold its 24.4 percent stake in Fairfax, leaving the ownership of Fairfax almost as indistinct as the Herald and Weekly Times Ltd was before News Ltd took over the group. The Australian Broadcasting Authority found that the interests held by Brian Powers (chairman) and Kerry Packer did not breach cross-media ownership rules. It could be loosely said that during the year Rupert Murdoch buried his first wife, divorced his second and married his third. This raised complicated questions of dynastic succession that had previously seemed to be fairly straightforward. Lachlan Murdoch also married.

    MEETING REPORT PETER HITCHENER on Monday 15 June, Following Our Club Zoom Meeting, We Then Met Our Speaker Peter Hitchener, Via Zoom

    No 43A President: Stuart Williams 17 June 2020 Hi folks, Due to the gremlin in my computer eating Barbara’s report on our meeting with Peter Hitchener, the report did not make it into the original newsletter. My apologies to Barbara for this error. The upside is – you get two newsletters this week!! MEETING REPORT PETER HITCHENER On Monday 15 June, following our club zoom meeting, we then met our speaker Peter Hitchener, via zoom. What a personable, friendly attitude he had! He thought he may have been the only person alive before TV, but we all reassured him that we all enjoyed radio serials on the wireless, as did he. He reminded us that TV came to Melbourne at the same time as the Olympic Games in 1956. His favourite show at that time was the Mickey Mouse Club. He mentioned in the early days there were lots of local productions, eg. In Melbourne Tonight (IMT) with various compares, Sir Eric Pearce, Bert Newton, Graham Kennedy, where often the audience had to wait years to get tickets. Peter grew up in Queensland, joined Channel 9 in 1973 and moved to Melbourne in 1974. He remembered wearing body shirts, and suits with wide lapels and of enjoying fondues and old wines. He worked with Sir Eric Pearce, who he said should have been a Rotarian, as Sir Eric was always helping people and doing good. Following Sir Eric, Brian Naylor read the news for 20 years, garnering a huge following, until his retirement in 1998, when Peter took over the role.
