  • Global Cities, Local Knowledge
    Formatting and Change in East Asian Television Industries: Media Globalization and Regional Dynamics Lim, Wei Ling Tania Patricia BSocSc (Hons), MSc (Media & Comms) Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2005 Keywords Circuit of cultural production, East Asian popular culture, Television industries, Field of broadcasting, Formatting, Local knowledge, Media capitals, Neo-networks, Regional dynamics, TV Formats, martial arts dramas, teenage idol soap operas, game-shows. ii Abstract Television is increasingly both global and local. Those television industries discussed in this thesis transact in an extensive neo-network of flows in talents, financing, and the latest forms of popular culture. These cities attempt to become media capitals but their status waxes and wanes, depending on their success in exporting their Asian media productions. What do marital arts dramas, interactive game-shows, children’s animation and teenage idol soap operas from East Asian television industries have in common? Through the systematic use of TV formatting strategies, these television genres have become the focus for indigenous cultural entrepreneurs located in the East Asian cities of Hong Kong, Singapore and Taipei to turn their local TV programmes into tradable culture. This thesis is a re-consideration of the impact of media globalisation on Asian television that re-imagines a new global media order. It suggests that there is a growing shift in perception and trade among once-peripheral television industries that they may be slowly de-centring Hollywood’s dominance by inserting East Asian popular entertainment into familiar formats or cultural spaces through embracing global yet local cultures of production.

  • Print and Electronic Media
    8. Print and Electronic Media John Sinclair Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the contrasting structure of the media industries in Australia and Latin America, and outlines some of the technological and corporate trends associated with globalisation. In Australia, there is a small commercial market of print and electronic media for people of Latin American origin, but this has inherent limitations, the advantages endowed by a common language, on one hand, being offset by the internal diversity of national and other kinds of difference on the other. In such circumstances, government plays a benign and supportive role as both a broadcaster and an advertiser. There is also a grass-roots community sector. By contrast, the media in Latin America have developed on a mass commercial basis, and have had to continually negotiate their relative independence from governments always anxious to circumscribe media influence. Thus, compared to Latin American countries, the media environment in Australia is quite distinctive, particularly as regards the electronic media. Ever since the days of radio, Latin American broadcasting developed for the most part on the commercial model first established in the United States; that is, where broadcasters seek to attract audiences which advertisers will pay to gain access to, either by sponsoring programs or buying time spots. Commercial broadcasting was also established in Australia, but given the nation’s British colonial origins, this occurred in conjunction with public broadcasting institutions largely based on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) model, with an Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) responsible for fostering national culture at ‘arm’s length’ from government.
