Stories are one of the principal means by which science is situated in society. Stories represent science in many different ways, reflecting diverse contributors and contexts. As members of society, we receive and perceive science through the stories told by scientists, teachers, popular science authors, journalists, museums and science centres, and so many more. As members of society, scientists also constitute audiences for stories told about other parts of science, as well as being storytellers about their own science. Not so long ago, such propositions might have caused anxiety, or antagonism, in scientific communities. "We don't make up stories," it could have been said. "We tell nature as it is". Telling stories carried the connotation of making things up, of fiction, and this was contrasted with exposition or explanation as fact-telling. It is one of the notable achievements of the science communication movement of the past two decades to have stimulated awareness that there are many and increasing ways of communicating science with various audiences. Part of that awareness is breaking down the supposed hard border between presenting facts and telling stories. Facts need to be selected, dressed and put into order for them to be communicated; they need, in other words, to be arranged into stories. Informal storytelling is part of all of our daily lives and formats like science cafés try to reproduce that. Formal storytelling is the professional work of explainers, mediators, publicists, broadcasters and others. Science communication as a field of practice and of research covers both of these domains. As practice, it is increasingly 7 professionalised, but it is not limited to the work of professionals. As research, it considers how society talks about science or, if you like, the stories society tells about science. In the science communication community we have developed our own stories about our own evolution. According to one of our guiding stories, science used to be told top-down to society but now we understand that talk about science takes place in and with society. That shift is only part of the story, an important part, but still only part. Through reflection and research, through international collaborations and conferences like ours, we are developing more sophisticated stories about who we are and where we are heading. In a global perspective, which uniquely the PCST conferences offer, we see the co-existence and co-evolution of diverse and apparently contradictory forms of communication. At PCST 2018 in Dunedin, thousands of stories will be told and heard. Thank you for coming and sharing your stories. Brian Trench President PCST Network SCIENCE, STORIES AND SOCIETY...THE SOUL OF SCIENCE COMMUNICATION Tēnā koutou katoa (Greetings to you all). It is my great pleasure, on behalf of the Organising Committee, to welcome you all to Dunedin, New Zealand – or Middle Earth as it is known around here – for PCST 2018. We have done everything within our hobbit-like powers to make this the most stimulating, thought-provoking, entertaining and enjoyable conference you will have ever experienced. The Environs This starts with the setting: Dunedin lies at the base of the beautiful Otago Harbour with its associated Otago Peninsula. Within the city's boundaries can be found the world's only mainland colony of albatross (and they are not just any albatross, but Royal Albatross, the largest in the world); the world's rarest sea lion; and two species of penguins, including the world's rarest, the Yellow-eyed Penguin. A large green belt of native bush and forest runs through the city containing a plethora of 8 New Zealand native birds, glow-worm grottos and Peripatus (velvet worms), living fossils that have changed little in 500 million years. You get the picture: we inhabitants of Dunedin are a little unusual, but not just because of our hairy feet. And, we hope that during your stay here, you will take the time to get to know some of us. The University of Otago, where the conference is being held, is New Zealand's oldest university and arguably its most picturesque. Founded in 1869, it sits on the banks of the Leith River and contains a mixture of old stone buildings and strikingly modern ones. The St David Lecture Theatre complex – the main venue for PCST 2018 – is one of the latter, with first-class audio-visual facilities, break-out rooms and casual spaces. Importantly, it incorporates a café and we trust you will avail yourselves of the places to lounge and network with other conference goers – or step outside and enjoy sitting on the lawns or sculptured steps beside the calming waters of the Leith. Themes PCST 2018 is opening with a gala evening on Tuesday 3 April and, then, each of the three main days is highlighting a different theme: Science, Stories and Society – the three elements that really are the heart and soul of science communication. PCST 2018 will explore that nexus between science, stories and society, that place where science communication lives. Keynotes We have an exciting line-up of Keynote Speakers and Plenary Panelists for you. We have taken a great deal of care to ensure that our Keynote and Plenary speakers are gifted orators and have stimulating and, even, provocative things to say about science communication. We are also bringing a range of different formats to our keynote slots: in addition to the normal single-presenter keynotes, we are having plenary panel discussions and interviews. You should not miss our keynotes and plenary sessions. Parallel Sessions Try as we might, we were simply unable to reduce the number of parallel sessions below 10 and still accommodate all the excellent proposals we received. We have taken care to curate the parallel sessions so that they represent the major themes of the conference each day with a variety of formats. At any one time, there will be individual paper sessions, grouped papers, roundtables, ideas in progress, show tell and talk, and workshops. In other words, we hope there will always to be something to interest you. 9 Poster Sessions We have worked hard to elevate the role of poster presentations at PCST 2018; to make them a jewel in the conference's crown. This includes giving special prominence to posters in the foyer of the conference venue, having dedicated poster sessions with associated social activities, and theme-based tours of posters that turn them into “visual talks” – all ways of ensuring that authors of posters get valuable opportunities to discuss their work. We want to show that posters need not be the booby prize but, instead, the most rewarding way of all at PCST conferences to exchange ideas and get feedback about your research and reflections regarding science communication. Social Interactions and Networking Of course, so many of us say that the best part of PCST conferences is the networking and we certainly want to facilitate that. In addition to the social functions associated with the posters, we are having the conference dinner at New Zealand's only castle; a gala opening-cum-reception at the Regent Theatre; and a social function in the new science centre of the Otago Museum. Plus, Dunedin is littered with bars, pubs and fine places to eat if you want to take yourself away from the throngs for a catch-up with friends and colleagues. The café culture in Dunedin is really vibrant too, with excellent coffee available everywhere. The hub of Dunedin's nightlife is in the Octagon, the city centre, which is an easy walk from the conference venue. Middle Earth While we hope that PCST 2018 alone proves so attractive, insightful and enjoyable that you will be thankful you came for that alone, we hope that you will also take time to enjoy some of our unique wildlife (some of which is featured in this programme) and stunning scenery.

  • Media Ownership Chart
    In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly . In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media" -- controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies. He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies. This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six. Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4 Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation. In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly , shows that only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth.

Australian Nativism & the Dardanelles cenotaph V. The Outbreak of the Great War & The Advertiser VI. SA Nativism & the Australian Wattle Day League VII. Walter Torode Master Builder VIII. `A plan so patriotic’ IX. `It is sweet and seemly to die for one’s country’ 2 I Preface This publication has like most of my work had a long gestation. As a freelance historian for much of my career, no institutional obligation has obliged me to be one of the publish or perish brigade, who are rushed into print only to repent at leisure. My engagement with the Anzac legend began in infancy when a favourite Liberal voting uncle handed me a venerable comic strip apology for the Gallipoli landing. It taught me that my people had been engaged in things larger than themselves. It was in effect my Iliad. This was in the 1960s, when Australia and indeed my relations were split by the War in Vietnam. My great grandparents had been Methodist opponents of the Boer War. My Labor voting grandmother and father opposed Australia’s involvement in Vietnam, and were very concerned for a conscripted cousin who did a tour of duty there. At the age of eight I wanted to march in the Moratorium demonstration in Burnie, Tasmania, using the credibility of my Cub Scout uniform. Dad talked me out of it, fearing political surveillance and damage to my future job prospects; as Lenny Bruce said around then, if you’re not paranoid, you’re not paying attention.

It is being submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Nigel Costley Date 4 Copyright This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. Acknowledgements Thanks to Professor Stephanie Tailby, Professor Sian Moore and Dr Mike Richardson for their continuous encouragement, support and constructive criticisms. 5 Abstract The National Graphical Association (NGA) typified the British model of craft unionism with substantial positional power and organisational strength. This study finds that it relied upon, and was reinforced by, the common occupational bonds that members identified with. It concludes that the value of collective identity warrants greater attention in the debate over union renewal alongside theories around mobilisation and organising (Kelly 2018), alliance-building and social movements (Holgate 2014). Sectionalism builds solidarity through the exclusion of others. Occupational identity is vulnerable to technological change. This model neglects institutional and ‘associational’ power, eschewing legal protections in favour of collective bargaining and ignoring alliance-building in favour of sovereign authority.
