Firstly I would like to express my utmost gratitude to my supervisors, Dr. Tony Schirato and Dr. Joost de Bruin, for their unwavering support, guidance and encouragement. Tony’s expertise and enthusiasm never fail to inspire me and reignite my passion for both this thesis and Media Studies in general. This thesis was borne out of an Honours paper taught by Joost and I thank him for urging me to pursue it, and for instilling in me a strong sense of responsibility, discipline, and organisation. I am also extremely appreciative of my friends, particularly those within the Media Studies postgraduate community. Their friendship has made the journey not only bearable, but also thoroughly entertaining. I thank them for sharing the ups and downs of a thesis and for all the welcomed distractions which have kept me sane. Thank you also to my friends outside of university, especially those whose interest in my research have not only sparked many fruitful discussions but also reminded me, again and again, of my passion for the project.
