  • 14. Forgetting PNG? Australian Media Coverage of Papua New Guinea
    MEDIA FREEDOM IN MELANESIA 14. Forgetting PNG? Australian media coverage of Papua New Guinea Abstract: Coverage of Papua New Guinea (PNG) in Australian media has been a source of resentment and dissatisfaction among academic writers and journalists within PNG and in Australia, and PNG activists and politi- cal leaders since the former Territory’s independence in 1975. A survey of Australian media coverage during 2007-11 found there was a low volume of coverage and much of the content was negative. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) provided an exception by maintaining a Port Moresby correspondent. The present study finds the volume of coverage has increased slightly with indications of more positive approaches in reporting on the country. It contrasts disinterest in PNG among established Australian press and commercial television, with the ongoing contribution of ABC, and the ‘new media’ Guardian Australia making a targeted and well-serviced entry into the field. Keywords: Australian Broadcasting Corporation, coverage, foreign correspondence, Papua New Guinea, political journalism, Radio Australia, The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald LEE DUFFIELD Independent researcher, Brisbane Introduction AS Papua New Guinea (PNG) forgotten by Australia after independ- ence in 1975? That is a conclusion which could be drawn from the Wvery limited coverage of the former Territory which occurred in Australian mass media. It was an omission marked by some exasperation, re- sentment and dissatisfaction among academics, journalists and political lead- ers within PNG, noted by non-PNG observers such as those cited here. Thirty years post-independence, the question was addressed in a research collabora- tion based on monitoring and assessment of actual levels of coverage.

  • Annagh 2005, the Twenty-Eighth Issue of the Ballyhaunis Tparish Magazine
    Christmas Greetings t seems such a short year since last Christmas and yet we are moving fast towards the IChristmas season again. The year gone by has been a year of high drama, beginning with the awful tsunami tragedy on St. Stephen’s Day. This has been followed by all the other tragedies of the year, the hurricanes in the US, the terrors in Baghdad, the earthquake in Pakistan and many more. I suppose one event that will always stand out in the minds of Catholics was the death of our late Holy Father, Pope John Paul II. His final illness and death brought home to us how he dignified pain and suffering by his endurance and acceptance. His funeral captured the attention of the world because he was respected by world leaders everywhere for standing up for what he believed. Then we had the election of Pope Benedict XVI and a new era in the church began. It is our prayer that the coming year will be a better year, that peace will take the place of war and violence around the world, and that people everywhere will escape natural disasters and flu pandemics. As always, I avail of the pages of Annagh Magazine to wish you all, on my own behalf and on behalf of Fr. Burke, a very happy and holy Christmas and every blessing and every happiness in the New Year. Wherever you are, at home or abroad, you will be remembered in our Masses on Christmas Day.

  • Nowhere Boys: the Book of Shadows, Mini-Series Seven Types of Ambiguity, and Barracuda
    Introduction The wait is over…Australia’s award-winning drama series Glitch returns to ABC, Thursday 14 September at 8.30pm with all episodes stacked and available to binge watch on ABC iview. When it first premiered in 2015, Glitch broke the mold and garnered fans around the country, who became immersed in the story of the Risen - the seven people who returned from the dead in perfect health. With no memory of their identities, disbelief soon gave way to a determination to discover who they are and what happened to them. Featuring a stellar cast including: Patrick Brammall, Emma Booth, Emily Barclay, Rodger Corser, Genevieve O’Reilly, Sean Keenan, Rob Collins and Hannah Monson, Glitch is an epic paranormal saga about love, loss and what it means to be human, and the dark secrets that lie beneath our country’s history. Season two picks up with James (Patrick Brammall), dealing with his recovering wife, Sarah (Emily Barclay) and a new-born baby daughter. He continues to be committed to helping the remaining Risen unravel the mystery of how and why they have returned and shares with them his discovery that Doctor Elishia Mackeller (Genevieve O’Reilly), now missing, died and came back to life four years ago and has been withholding many secrets from the beginning. Meanwhile on the run and desperate, John Doe (Rodger Corser) crosses paths with the mysterious Nicola Heysen (Pernilla August) head of Noregard Pharmaceuticals. Sharing explosive information with him, she convinces him that that the only way to discover answers to his questions is to offer himself up for testing inside their facility.
