  • Stephen Harrington Thesis
    PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE BEYOND JOURNALISM: INFOTAINMENT, SATIRE AND AUSTRALIAN TELEVISION STEPHEN HARRINGTON BCI(Media&Comm), BCI(Hons)(MediaSt) Submitted April, 2009 For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology, Australia 1 2 STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made. _____________________________________________ Stephen Matthew Harrington Date: 3 4 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing relationships between television, politics, audiences and the public sphere. Premised on the notion that mediated politics is now understood “in new ways by new voices” (Jones, 2005: 4), and appropriating what McNair (2003) calls a “chaos theory” of journalism sociology, this thesis explores how two different contemporary Australian political television programs (Sunrise and The Chaser’s War on Everything) are viewed, understood, and used by audiences. In analysing these programs from textual, industry and audience perspectives, this thesis argues that journalism has been largely thought about in overly simplistic binary terms which have failed to reflect the reality of audiences’ news consumption patterns. The findings of this thesis suggest that both ‘soft’ infotainment (Sunrise) and ‘frivolous’ satire (The Chaser’s War on Everything) are used by audiences in intricate ways as sources of political information, and thus these TV programs (and those like them) should be seen as legitimate and valuable forms of public knowledge production.

  • Kate Ceberano Stages Mini I'm Talking Reunion While Curating a New
    Kate Ceberano stages mini I’m Talking reunion while curating a new festival in Daylesford Cameron Adams, National music writer, Herald Sun August 27, 2018 2:22pm KATE Ceberano is staging a mini reunion of her band I’m Talking later this year. Ceberano is a co-curator of the Live. Love. Life festival in Daylesford from November 14 to 18. The event will see Ceberano and Zan Abeyrante performing I’m Talking songs with local dance band Sex on Toast. “Zan and I haven’t sung together in 30 years, so it’s going to be ace,” Ceberano said. “It’s just a little pop-up show, we’ll do a few tunes and dance our brains out. Zan and I have reconnected since the reissue of (I’m Talking’s 1986 album) Bear Witness a few months ago. This could lead to some I’m Talking shows, we’ll see.” Kate Ceberano poses in front of a David Bromley painting. Picture: Jake Nowakowski The Live. Love. Life festival will focus on music, art, culture and wellness, with Ceberano working on the project all year with the likes of artist David Bromley, a co-curator of the event. “People are escaping to Daylesford because they’re looking to an alternative way to escape the future,” Ceberano said. “Daylesford is facing the future using every single ounce of knowledge in the history of food, culture and wellness. There’s no other place like it in Australia as far as I’m concerned.” Ceberano has curated a string of musical guests including Katie Noonan, Deborah Conway, Vika and Linda Bull, Lior, Paul Grabowsky and more.
