  • Australian Muslim Leaders, Normalisaton and Social Integration
    AUSTRALIAN MUSLIM LEADERS, NORMALISATON AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION Mohammad Hadi Sohrabi Haghighat Thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2013 Swinburne University ABSTRACT Functionalism has been the dominant framework for the explanation of social integration. Policies for the integration of migrants in the West have mainly centred on the improvement of migrants’ socio-economic situation (employment, education and income). Nonetheless, for Muslim minorities in the West, including Australia, the functionalist conception of integration is inadequate. Although Muslim minorities are socio- economically disadvantaged, they are also subject to social exclusion based on their religion and culture. This is due to a longstanding historical ideological construction of Islam as stagnant, pre-modern, despotic, patriarchal and violent, in opposition to the progressive, modern, democratic, egalitarian and civilised West. This is to say that Muslims have been placed outside the space of ‘normal’ in western discourses. Muslims will not be able to fully integrate into Australian society unless their derogatory image changes. This study aims to explore the issue of social integration from the perspective of Australian Muslim leaders. It is argued that social integration can be defined as a process of normalisation. ‘Integrationist’ Muslim leaders struggle to normalise the image of Muslims and Islam in the Australian public sphere. Their efforts have both organisational and discursive aspects. This process of normalisation, however, is contested from both within and without. From within, there are Muslim ‘radicals’ and ‘isolationists’ who challenge the normalisation process. From without, the media’s disproportionate focus on provocative and radical Muslim voices challenges the integrationist leaders’ efforts.

  • Bad Aunty: Seven Years On, How ABC Lateline Sparked the Racist NT Intervention
    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Bad Aunty: Seven Years On, How ABC Lateline Sparked The Racist NT Intervention By Chris Graham on June 21, 2015 A Howard government policy that decimated Aboriginal communities in 2006 is still reverberating today. Chris Graham takes a look at a scandal that the ABC would rather you not hear about. Self-praise is really no recommendation, so, in 2011, when television personality Tony Jones described ABC Lateline’s 2006 coverage of sexual violence in remote Northern Territory Aboriginal communities – reporting which led directly to the 2007 NT intervention – as among the best he’d ever seen, I was a little underwhelmed. Jones, of course, is the former anchor of Lateline, now the face of the popular Q&A program. 2 My sense of unease wasn’t helped by the fact that Lateline’s coverage proved extremely popular with politicians. Generally speaking, when conservatives get ‘excited’ about Aboriginal affairs, some blackfella somewhere in the country is going to get screwed. But excited they got, and few more so than Dave Tollner, Country Liberal Party MP, and the Member for Fong Lim, in the Northern Territory parliament. In my career, I’ve only ever had one encounter with Tollner. It was in Alice Springs in 2009, when the Northern Territory parliament moved south to Alice Springs for a session, to ‘bring democracy to the people’. I sat in the public gallery directly behind Tollner throughout much of the proceedings. For several days I watched him surf Facebook on his laptop. Occasionally, he’d leap to his feet to direct some class-clown barb at the Opposition, only to sit back down and resume the Facebook hunt.

    The Logics of Social News: How BuzzFeed, Junkee, and Pedestrian.tv are Making News More Engaging, Sociable, and Personal Edward Hurcombe BA(Hons). University of Melbourne Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Communication Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2019 ii Keywords BuzzFeed Junkee Pedestrian.tv News Journalism Digital journalism Audience engagement Sharing Personalisation Sociability Popular culture Social media Platforms Textual analysis Social media analytics iii Abstract In recent years, disruptive digital technologies, monopolising platforms, fragmented and partisan news publics, and failing revenue streams have led to growing concerns regarding the health of journalism. Yet a number of commercially successful news outlets, that share common stylistics and operate in similar ways, have arisen from these developments. Journalism researchers, however, currently lack categories in which understand and evaluate these outlets. In response, this thesis proposes, conceptualises, and illustrates the emerging genre of “social news”, comprising specific forms and practices that are recognisably journalistic yet deeply embedded in the everyday cultures of social media platforms and the broader Internet. Specifically, it examines three exemplary Australian born- digital publications – BuzzFeed Oz News, Junkee, and Pedestrian.tv. These outlets are critically evaluated using a mixed methods approach that combines textual analysis of content and self-representational

  • Global Media Journal - Australian Edition - Volume 3 Issue 2 2009
    Global Media Journal - Australian Edition - Volume 3 Issue 2 2009 Reporting in the ‘New Media’ Environment: How Today’s Television Journalists are Recycling Work Practices of the Past. Barbara Alysen – University of Western Sydney Abstract The issue of whether the practice of journalism for new mobile platforms and round-the-clock delivery represents a sharp break with the past or an adaptation of existing practices to meet new circumstances, remains unresolved within the study of Australian journalism. Some analysts see the contemporary news environment as forcing a revolutionary change in professional practice. In television news, for example, this has seen newsrooms addressing the challenges of new competition and reduced budgets by using associated online sites to present first versions of stories, requiring reporters to do more of the production work and more of their work in a ‘live’ environment while also drawing on the public for more of the material from which to generate news. However, the idea that journalism is undergoing a revolutionary shift in practice may owe its appeal, in part, to the relative dearth of historical analysis of work practices within Australian journalism in general, and broadcast journalism in particular. While some practices may, in fact, represent something new occasioned by changes in news media delivery others are more evolutionary and, in some ways, the skills required of journalists working in the ‘new media’ environment echo those required in a very different media environment. Drawing on archival research into television news in Australia, the objective is to compare the nature of work required of television journalists in the current mobile platform and 24-hour delivery markets with those required during a period of change in Australian television journalism in the early 1970s.
