  • Matthew Loads Thesis
    Australian Webisodes 2010-2014: Extending Narrative and Promoting Television Drama Online Matthew Loads Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2021 Department of Media and Communication School of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities Faculty of Health, Arts and Design Swinburne University of Technology 1 Abstract This thesis analyses webisode production in Australian television drama. It defines webisodes as short-form original video texts connected to a television program and produced for an online audience. They emerged as a form of video content in the mid-1990s and are currently recognised as a component of multi-platform television in Australia. Their creation reveals important emerging trends in the Australian screen industry. The study examines the production processes that shape these texts, and how webisodes contribute to the history of Australian television by reflecting larger changes in drama production. Through a consideration of both formal practices and storytelling conventions, the thesis employs Elana Levine’s five modes of production as its core methodological framework. Developed to examine the production of the soap opera General Hospital (1963-), this thesis adapts a framework established for pre-internet network television in North America to the production process that shaped Australian webisodes from 2010 to 2014, a period where webisode production solidified. Four webisode case studies directly linked to TV drama programs are explored—Network Ten’s Offspring (2010-2018) and Secrets and Lies (AU, 2014), SBS’s Danger 5 (2012-2015), and the ABC production of Nowhere Boys (2013- 2019). Findings are based on interviews with 27 production personnel and visits to production sets, and the detailed examination of trade press, industry and government reports.

  • Media Mergers 2003
    Media Mergers 2003 The OECD Competition Committee debated media mergers in May 2003. This document includes an executive summary and the documents from the meeting: an analytical note by Mr. Gary Hewitt for the OECD, written submissions from Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, the European Commission, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Chinese Taipei, the United Kingdom, the United States, as well as an aide-memoire of the discussion. Reviewing media mergers may be more complicated than reviewing other mergers because of the huge variety of possible media content and the two-sided market aspect of many media, i.e. those earning advertising revenue. A wide variety of content means that market definition is rendered more complex. The two-sided market characteristic has important and sometimes far from obvious impacts on how mergers affect economic efficiency, media plurality and content diversity. Vertical integration can produce real efficiencies in media markets notably when it eliminates a double-marginalisation problem but it can sometimes create competition problems as far as access to content and final delivery to the consumer are concerned. Adequate trade off between economic welfare and non-economic effects on social welfare, e.g. on pluralism, which are two separate goals, are difficult to make in reviewing media mergers. Although competition authorities tend to protect pluralism, most often they are reluctant to include pluralism considerations in merger reviews as they want to preserve
