  • The Democratic Detriment of Episodic Television News
    Pikkert. Function after Form … The McMaster Journal of Communication Volume 4, Issue 1 2007 Article 6 Function after Form: The Democratic Detriment of Episodic Television News Owen Pikkert McMaster University Copyright © 2007 by the authors. The McMaster Journal of Communication is produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). http://digitalcommons.mcmaster.ca/mjc The McMaster Journal of Communication. Volume 4 [2007], Issue 1, Article 6 Function after Form: The Democratic Detriment of Episodic Television News Owen Pikkert Abstract This paper analyzes the impact of television news upon political mobilization and awareness. In particular, it places a strong emphasis on the inherent inability of episodic news to form a cognitive framework through which to understand current events. The paper begins with preliminary statements on the significance of television news and describes the limits of the paper’s scope. It then examines the correlation of episodic television news with political cynicism, the trivialization of news content, and the formation of a pro-establishment attitude among viewers. A greater stress is placed upon the way in which television news is presented than upon news content or on the paucity of social capital. In conclusion, an argument is made for the imposition of sound bite quotas, with the desire to counter the handicaps of the episodic medium. KEYWORDS: Episodic, news, television, trivialization, political bias, pro- establishment, political cynicism, television medium, reporting, sound bite, post-structuralism The McMaster Journal of Communication. Volume 4 [2007], Issue 1, Article 6 The McMaster Journal of Communication 2007 Volume 4, Issue 1 Function after Form: The Democratic Detriment of Episodic Television News Owen Pikkert McMaster University Introduction elevision, as a channel for expression and public debate, is crucial to the health of a democratic state.

Image: Jared Leibowtiz Cover: Dianne Appleby, Yawuru Cultural Leader, and her grandson Zeke 11 September 2019 The Hon Paul Fletcher MP Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Dear Minister The Board of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation is pleased to present its Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2019. The report was prepared for section 46 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013, in accordance with the requirements of that Act and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act 1983. It was approved by the Board on 11 September 2019 and provides a comprehensive review of the ABC’s performance and delivery in line with its Charter remit. The ABC continues to be the home and source of Australian stories, told across the nation and to the world. The Corporation’s commitment to innovation in both storytelling and broadcast delivery is stronger than ever, as the needs of its audiences rapidly evolve in line with technological change. Australians expect an independent, accessible public broadcasting service which produces quality drama, comedy and specialist content, entertaining and educational children’s programming, stories of local lives and issues, and news and current affairs coverage that holds power to account and contributes to a healthy democratic process. The ABC is proud to provide such a service. The ABC is truly Yours. Sincerely, Ita Buttrose AC OBE Chair Letter to the Minister iii ABC Radio Melbourne Drive presenter Raf Epstein.

  • 2017 Exchange of Letters Between RR and ABC Management About
    Rory Robertson August 2017 2017 exchange of letters between RR and ABC management about whether or not secret ABC investigation into Lateline’s Australian Paradox report should be available on ABC’s website Readers, I think you should be aware that professional scientists from the University of Sydney in May 2016 wrote a 36-page formal letter of complaint about Emma Alberici’s ABC TV Lateline report that shredded the credibility of their extraordinarily faulty Australian Paradox paper http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2015/s4442720.htm In September 2016, Professor Jennie Brand-Miller and Dr Alan Barclay were advised via a 15-page official ABC response that an independent Audience and Consumer Affairs (A&CA) investigation had confirmed the Lateline report to be accurate and impartial on all reported matters of fact. Last November, I requested a copy of the secret ABC report. So far, the ABC has chosen to suppress the report. Readers, I'm arguing on public-health grounds that (i) it is in the community's interest to know that Professor Brand-Miller and Dr Barclay wrote a 36-page formal letter of complaint about the Lateline report that shredded the credibility of their Australian Paradox “finding”; and (ii) the community should be allowed to know that the ABC’s formal investigation confirmed the accuracy of reports of profound flaws, including the paper’s use of fake data. Unfortunately, after being advised of the profound problems, instead of properly correcting the formal scientific record, Brand-Miller and Barclay have continued to pretend that their widely-cited paper is essentially flawless.

What are the implications of such a delivery system for coverage of local issues and the Jeffersonian ideal of an informed citizenry? This study employs a content analysis of outsourced and local newscasts, using a data set of more than 1,000 stories from more than 30 hours of newscasts to determine if differences exist on story topics and source types.

  • Submission on Senate Enquiry Into Media Diversity in Australia The
    Submission on Senate enquiry into media diversity in Australia The state of media diversity, independence and reliability in Australia and the impact that this has on public interest journalism and democracy. DATE: 6TH DECEMBER 2020 MY BACKGROUND I am a retired business professional who has worked in the information technology and information industry all my working life. My roles have included technical, management, account management, regional sales management and worldwide product marketing. I have taken an interest is current affairs all of my life and am very cognisant of the technical capabilities of the internet and social media. MY SUBMISSION The greatest change to the media landscape in Australia over recent years is the influence of the internet and online media and advertising and the commensurate fall in advertising revenue in the traditional masthead newspapers. The arrival of Google, Facebook, Twitter and other social media has changed the way users explore news, current affairs and other content of interest. The operational model of social media is to fund their business through advertising which extracts large sources of revenue from traditional media. This results in the need for commercial media to cut costs, change their business model, introduce paywalls requiring subscription to access media content, and merge into larger conglomerates. The other major media providers in Australia are the publicly funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and SBS. The internet and social media has not affected their funding source and has in fact increased their reach. The ABC receives over $1 Billion annually and is forever complaining about cuts, be they cuts in real terms or simply through a lack of inflation indexed cost increases.

  • Address at Asia Society and Asialink at the University of Melbourne, by Hillary Rodham Clinton
    Address at Asia Society and Asialink at the University of Melbourne, by Hillary Rodham Clinton Hillary Rodham Clinton: An Australian Conversation Sunday, November 7, 2010 TRANSCRIPT LEIGH SALES: Hello I'm Leigh Sales. Welcome to this ABC News special; Hillary Rodham Clinton, an Australian conversation. Let me explain today's format. The Secretary of State will address our audience here in Melbourne for about 10 minutes or so and I'll briefly interview her afterwards. I'll then open the floor to questions from our audience, which will go for about three quarters of an hour. In our discussion we'll also include a handful of the hundreds of questions we received from all around the country via Twitter and Facebook and also on video. To introduce the Secretary of State here's the University of Melbourne's Vice Chancellor, Professor Glyn Davis. (applause) GLYN DAVIS: Leigh thank you. Foreign Minister; Ambassador; Chancellor; colleagues, friends. Good morning and welcome to the University of Melbourne. It's an enormous pleasure to welcome you on what's going to be a very special event.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to hear from and to engage with Secretary Clinton, who is in Australia for the regular military, political and security talks between the governments of Australia and the United States starting tomorrow.

  • Submission of Abc Alumni Limited to Senate Standing Committee on Environment and Communications
    1 SUBMISSION OF ABC ALUMNI LIMITED TO SENATE STANDING COMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS 13 November 2018 _______________________________________________ INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT ABC Alumni Limited represents a community of former staff and supporters of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. We campaign for properly funded, high quality, independent, ethical, and free public media in Australia. We promote excellence across all platforms through education, mentoring, public forums and scholarships. The selection of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Board and Managing Director must be free of political favouritism. Funding for the ABC must be guaranteed. We welcome this inquiry into ‘allegations of political interference in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)’. It is vitally important that the Senate committee establishes the detail; the who, what, where and, most importantly, why of Managing Director Michelle Guthrie’s dismissal and Board Chair Justin Milne’s subsequent resignation. We are alarmed by the widely publicised allegations made by Ms Guthrie about the conduct of Mr Milne (and any possible complicity by Board directors; for example, was there a failure to act on the allegations when presented with them?). Ms Guthrie’s allegations if true, in whole or in part, clearly indicate that the current legislation and Chair/Board appointment processes fail to protect the ABC from overt and covert political interference. This makes the corporation vulnerable to punitive funding cuts that affect its ability to continue to provide the range and quality of fearless, independent broadcasting and online publishing for which it is known. These issues are fundamental to the important contribution the ABC makes to Australian society. In our view there is a need for amendments to the ABC Act and for changes to existing processes for the appointment of the Chair and Board directors.

  • Submission on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Commitment to Reflecting and Representing Regional Diversity
    Submission on The Australian Broadcasting Corporation's commitment to reflecting and representing regional diversity Dear Sir/ Madam, I welcome this opportunity to comment on The Australian Broadcasting Corporation's commitment to reflecting and representing regional diversity within the terms of reference as set out by the Environment and Communications References Committee. Regional diversity and national identity will be diminished with the loss of the ABC Tasmanian Production Unit. Programs of high quality reflecting and representing regional diversity have been produced in Tasmania and include Auction Room, the extremely popular “Collectors” and “Gardening Australia” when it was hosted by Peter Cundall. These Tasmanian programs enabled national viewers to enjoy and appreciate the state’s distinctive heritage and culture. The Tasmanian bushfires were best reported by local journalists who have a personal understanding of the state; its people and conditions. The decision to cut ABC production in Hobart has met with opposition from 12 Federal Senators and the Premier, Lara Giddings who is unable to match funding from the State budget for Screen Tasmania to offset ABC cuts as requested by the ABC’s Managing Director (ABC, 2012)1. Similarly, Western Australia also has limited ABC production with the cessation of “Can We Help?” enjoyed by viewers over six years. The decline, according to Cassellas (2012), has been evident since 1985 when WA had a low but reasonable 7.8 per cent of ABC’s staff compared with just 5.4 per cent in 20122. Now the WA studio is mainly unused or hired out to companies like Screen West. By comparison, NSW had 49.2 per cent of the ABC’s staff last year.
