  • Science Do Australian and New Zealand Newspapers Publish?
    Australian Journalism Review 25 (1) July 2003: 129-143 How much ‘real’ science do Australian and New Zealand newspapers publish? By Steve McIlwaine ABSTRACT Ten metropolitan or national newspapers – nine Australian and one New Zealand – were analysed over either seven or six years for their content of science stories according to strict criteria aimed at filtering out “non-core” science, such as computer technology, as well as what was considered non-science and pseudo- science. The study sought to establish the proportions of “real” science to total editorial content in these newspapers. Results were compared with similar content in US, UK, European and South-East Asian dailies. Introduction Although quite rigorous surveys by science-based organisations in Britain, the United States and Australia (Saulwick poll 1989, AGB McNair poll 1997) have shown uniformly that news consumers want to see or hear much more about science in news media, significantly above their appetite for sport and politics, news media appear not to have responded. Despite a substantial increase from a very low base in what is described as science news in the past 30 years (Arkin 1990, DITAC 1991, p.35-43, Harris, 1993, McCleneghan, 1994) and especially in the 1990s (Metcalfe and Gascoigne 1995), the increase seems not to have kept pace with apparent demand. The “blame” for such responses – or non-responses – to audience data have been studied previously (Riffe and Belbase 1983, Culbertson and Stempel 1984, Thurlow and Milo 1993, Beam 1995) in relation to such areas as overseas and medical news and appear to indicate in part an inertia, conservatism or hostility among senior news executives.

H) who built the third chantry in the Chapel and desired to be buried before the altar. This canopied monument, with its full-length effigy laid on a slab above a cadaver, is an admirable example of Gothic just touched by Renaissance feeling and detail. The scheme, the living laid above the dead, is found in the tomb of William of Wykeham and other fifteenth-century works; but it persisted almost until the Civil War, though the slab, in some of the finest seventeenth-century examples, is borne up by mourners or allegorical figures, as at Hatfield.

  • Sydney Is Singularly Fortunate in That, Unlike Other Australian Cities, Its Newspaper History Has Been Well Documented
    Two hundred years of Sydney newspapers: A SHORT HISTORY By Victor Isaacs and Rod Kirkpatrick 1 This booklet, Two Hundreds Years of Sydney Newspapers: A Short History, has been produced to mark the bicentenary of publication of the first Australian newspaper, the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser, on 5 March 1803 and to provide a souvenir for those attending the Australian Newspaper Press Bicentenary Symposium at the State Library of New South Wales, Sydney, on 1 March 2003. The Australian Newspaper History Group convened the symposium and records it gratitude to the following sponsors: • John Fairfax Holdings Ltd, publisher of Australia’s oldest newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald • Paper World Pty Ltd, of Melbourne, suppliers of original newspapers from the past • RMIT University’s School of Applied Communication, Melbourne • The Printing Industries Association of Australia • The Graphic Arts Merchants Association of Australia • Rural Press Ltd, the major publisher of regional newspapers throughout Australia • The State Library of New South Wales Printed in February 2003 by Rural Press Ltd, North Richmond, New South Wales, with the assistance of the Printing Industries Association of Australia. 2 Introduction Sydney is singularly fortunate in that, unlike other Australian cities, its newspaper history has been well documented. Hence, most of this short history of Sydney’s newspapers is derived from secondary sources, not from original research. Through the comprehensive listing of relevant books at the end of this booklet, grateful acknowledgement is made to the writers, and especially to Robin Walker, Gavin Souter and Bridget Griffen-Foley whose work has been used extensively.

  • Chasing the Chimera: the Rule of Law in the British Empire and the Comparative Turn in Legal History
    Chasing the Chimera: The Rule of Law in the British Empire and the Comparative Turn in Legal History John McLaren This article compares the imposition, application and evolution of the Rule of Law in colonial territories and their populations within the British Empire as evidence of a ‘Comparative Turn’ in exploring metro- politan and colonial legal cultures and their interrelationships. The purpose of the study is not primarily to either justify or criticise that concept, but to suggest that its complexity, contingency and controversy provides fertile soil for research relating to law and justice, and their ideologies across the British Empire. Elsewhere there might be the sultan’s caprice, the lit de justice, judicial torture, the slow-grinding mills of the canon law’s bureaucracy, and the auto-da-fé of the Inquisition. In England, by contrast, king and magis- trates were beneath the law, which was the even-handed guardian of every Englishman’s life, liberties, and property. Blindfolded Justice weighed all equitably in her scales. The courts were open, and worked by known and due process. Eupeptic fanfares such as those on the unique blessings of being a free-born Englishman under the Anglo-Saxon-derived common law were omnipresent background music. Anyone, from Lord Chancellors to rioters, could be heard piping them (though for very different purposes).1 There is inherent value and potential in comparing the legal cultures of former British colonial territories to demonstrate the processes of the translation of legal culture and ideology, not only from the metropolis to the colonies, but between the colonies themselves, and the institutional and personal networks and trajectories that facilitated these movements.
