Julie Sibraa NSW Budget Slow & Steady Finding new ways to fund infrastructure The recent NSW State Government Budget, handed down by arguably the world’s nicest Treasurer, Mike Baird, was described by some in the media as “boring”. Mike Baird’s response was to say that boring was the new sexy. And for those in the infrastructure sector it was a pretty racy budget.

  • Music on PBS: a History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station
    Music on PBS: A History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station Rochelle Lade (BArts Monash, MArts RMIT) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2021 Abstract This historical case study explores the programs broadcast by Melbourne community radio station PBS from 1979 to 2019 and the way programming decisions were made. PBS has always been an unplaylisted, specialist music station. Decisions about what music is played are made by individual program announcers according to their own tastes, not through algorithms or by applying audience research, music sales rankings or other formal quantitative methods. These decisions are also shaped by the station’s status as a licenced community radio broadcaster. This licence category requires community access and participation in the station’s operations. Data was gathered from archives, in‐depth interviews and a quantitative analysis of programs broadcast over the four decades since PBS was founded in 1976. Based on a Bourdieusian approach to the field, a range of cultural intermediaries are identified. These are people who made and influenced programming decisions, including announcers, program managers, station managers, Board members and the programming committee. Being progressive requires change. This research has found an inherent tension between the station’s values of cooperative decision‐making and the broadcasting of progressive music. Knowledge in the fields of community radio and music is advanced by exploring how cultural intermediaries at PBS made decisions to realise eth station’s goals of community access and participation. ii Acknowledgements To my supervisors, Jock Given and Ellie Rennie, and in the early phase of this research Aneta Podkalicka, I am extremely grateful to have been given your knowledge, wisdom and support.

    From: Willis, Chris Sent: Monday, 7 February 2011 12:06 PM To: Jo Jarvis Subject: RE: Media Watch question to channel 7 Response from Chris Willis: The network sent an additional 60 people – reporters, producers, technical staff – to Brisbane to assist in the coverage. That is in addition to the Brisbane news staff of 50 and the Sunrise staff who were already in place covering the floods. We also sent a significant amount of equipment – helicopters from Sydney and Melbourne, satellite dishes and links from around the network – to assist in live coverage. Additional staff were rostered in Sydney to cope with demand for satellite space and live feeds coming from Queensland. In addition to the people sent to Brisbane, extra people brought into each newsroom in the network to assist in preparing stories for coverage of the floods. Re the signing. Our camera operator at the EMQ did not hear the request and focussed on the premier, as is the normal practice. Our normal communications with him failed. He had his mobile were switched off during the news conference. However, we were able to contact him after the news conference. From that point, the signer was included in all news conferences. Chris Willis Director of News | Sydney Seven Network (Operations) Limited Dear Chris, Media Watch is looking at the coverage of the Queensland floods and while we are examining some of the slip ups, we’d also like to acknowledge the massive effort news organisations dedicated to this event. If you have a moment to spare from overseeing the coverage of Cyclone Yasi, we’d very much appreciate a short note telling us how many reporters and what resources you outlaid for the coverage of the floods in SE Queensland.

  • Going Down the Hole Beaconsfield, Celebrities and the Changing News Culture in Australia JASON BAINBRIDGE
    going down the hole Beaconsfield, Celebrities and the Changing News Culture in Australia JASON BAINBRIDGE We didn’t realise the hype would be as big as it has been, and it hasn’t really sunk in yet. When we were down the hole one day, I remember tapping Brant on the shoulder and asking him if he thought we’d make the front page of The [Launceston] Examiner, our local paper. Then we get out and Oprah wants to interview us! Todd Russell1 I would like my life to settle down and to be normal again … Before we could go outside and there would be no cameras on us but now cameras follow Dad and everyone wants his autograph … And I wish the media would mind its business because they say things that are not true. Maddison Russell (Todd Russell’s daughter, from a writing competition)2 — Introduction By the time this article sees print, the events at Beaconsfield, Tasmania will have joined a backlog of similar news moments, largely unremembered by all but those who were personally affected by what happened there. Yet for fourteen days in mid-2006 this small mining town became, like so many places before it, ‘the network executive’s best friend’3 and an indication of a significant change in the way television news is reported and packaged in Australia. At 9.23 pm, on 25 April (Anzac Day), a rockfall at the Beaconsfield gold mine killed miner Larry Knight (his body was recovered two days later). On 30 April, two miners—Todd Russell and Brant Webb—were discovered to still be alive one kilometre underground.

  • Stolen Generation Narratives and the Ethics of Recognition
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals online DOROTHY GREEN MEMORIAL LECTURE Narrative Lives and Human Rights: Stolen Generation Narratives and the Ethics of Recognition KAY SCHAFFER, UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE Dorothy Green was a formidable figure in the field of Australian literature. I first met her twenty five years ago at a symposium in Sydney hosted by Geoffrey Sharp, the then editor of Arena. The idea for the gathering grew out of the pres- entation of a number of innovative papers that had been delivered to the first ASAL Conference, held at Monash University in 1978 that offered what then were emergent feminist and cultural studies perspectives. At the ASAL confer- ence, and later at the Sharp symposium, I presented a paper on Katharine Susannah Prichard, entitled “Of an End a New Beginning,” that utilized feminist, neo- marxist and psychobiographic tools to analyse the creative tension between Prichard’s biography, her Marxist politics and the marked Lawrentian tendencies in her fiction. Geoff later published it in Arena in 1979 (Iseman). It was my first published piece of critical writing in Australia. A number of (then) young (and now well-known) scholars whose work pio- neered Australian feminist and cultural studies, including film and popular cul- ture, had delivered papers at ASAL and were subsequently invited to the seminar in Sydney. Many of us worked at the intersections of literature, politics, philoso- phy and popular culture and came from interdisciplinary faculties in the CAEs, the Institutes of Technology and newer universities.
