  • Stephen Harrington Thesis
    PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE BEYOND JOURNALISM: INFOTAINMENT, SATIRE AND AUSTRALIAN TELEVISION STEPHEN HARRINGTON BCI(Media&Comm), BCI(Hons)(MediaSt) Submitted April, 2009 For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology, Australia 1 2 STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted to meet requirements for an award at this or any other higher education institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made. _____________________________________________ Stephen Matthew Harrington Date: 3 4 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing relationships between television, politics, audiences and the public sphere. Premised on the notion that mediated politics is now understood “in new ways by new voices” (Jones, 2005: 4), and appropriating what McNair (2003) calls a “chaos theory” of journalism sociology, this thesis explores how two different contemporary Australian political television programs (Sunrise and The Chaser’s War on Everything) are viewed, understood, and used by audiences. In analysing these programs from textual, industry and audience perspectives, this thesis argues that journalism has been largely thought about in overly simplistic binary terms which have failed to reflect the reality of audiences’ news consumption patterns. The findings of this thesis suggest that both ‘soft’ infotainment (Sunrise) and ‘frivolous’ satire (The Chaser’s War on Everything) are used by audiences in intricate ways as sources of political information, and thus these TV programs (and those like them) should be seen as legitimate and valuable forms of public knowledge production.

  • The Castle Tail Credits
    (Full credits are below the end narrative) The closing narration: As with the start of the film, Dale Kerrigan is given extensive wrap-up duties by way of voice over narration at the end of the film. (This transcript is taken from the Roadshow DVD release of “the poolroom edition”). The narration cranks up when Darryl and Dennis realise they’ve won in the High Court. Dale (v/o, over the aftermath in court): “Dad was stoked, but suitably restrained. He reckoned the other side didn’t know what to do with themselves. Dennis was so stunned he went all quiet. Dad reckons he almost cried. In fact I think he did … (over Dennis trying to hold back a tear)…Mr Hammill just sat there for ages …he reckoned it was the most satisfying victory he’d had in forty seven years… Dad reckons it’s important to be noble in victory, so he spoke to the other Q.C.” Darryl (shouting across the bench to the Q.C.): “Oh hey …” Dale: “… the one who had a go at Wayne …” Darryl: “Bad luck… ya dickhead!!” National Nine News replaces the courtroom images. Dale (v/o): “The case was all over the news that night. Newsreader Ian Ross: “Good evening …first tonight, a landmark decision in the High Court today has confirmed the age-old saying, ‘A man’s home is his castle’ … when the huge Airlink consortium tried to compulsorily acquire a string of homes on Melbourne’s outskirts earlier this year, they didn’t expect a fight … well, they got one …” Reporter (over images outside the court): “It was a case of Darryl v.

  • Boys Will Be Boys
    PRAISE FOR BOYS WILL BE BOYS ‘A damning look at toxic masculinity. It’s the most important thing you’ll read this year.’ Elle Australia ‘Boys Will Be Boys is a timely contribution to feminist literature. Her central point is clear and confronting, and it represents something of a challenge… Ferocious, incisive, an effective treatise.’ Australian Book Review ‘A piercing gaze at contemporary patriarchy, gendered oppression and toxic masculinity.’ Sydney Morning Herald ‘A truly vital piece of social commentary from Australia’s fiercest feminist, Boys Will Be Boys should be shoved into the hands of every person you know. Clementine Ford has done her research—despite what her angry detractors would have you believe—and spits truths about toxic masculinity and the dangers of the patriarchy with passion and a wonderfully wry sense of humour. Read it, learn from it, and share it—this book is absolute GOLD!’ AU Review, 16 Best Books of 2018 ‘Boys Will Be Boys is an impassioned call for societal change from a writer who has become a stand-out voice of her generation (and has the trolls to prove it) and an act of devotion from a mother to her son.’ Readings ‘With pithy jokes and witty commentary, this is an engrossing read, and Ford’s spirited tone evokes passion for change.’ Foreword Reviews ‘Clementine Ford reveals the fragility behind “toxic masculinity” in Boys Will Be Boys.’ The Conversation ‘Boys Will Be Boys highlights the need to refocus on how we’re raising our boys to be better men.

  • Chasing Reporters: Infotainment, Intertextuality and Media Satire
    QUT Digital Repository: http://eprints.qut.edu.au/ Harrington, S. (2009). Chasing reporters: Infotainment, intertextuality and media satire. © Copyright 2009 Stephen Harrington Chasing Reporters: Infotainment, Intertextuality and Media Satire STEPHEN HARRINGTON Queensland University of Technology, Australia ABSTRACT The Chaser’s War on Everything was a night time entertainment program which screened on Australia’s public broadcaster, the ABC in 2006 and 2007. This enormously successful comedy show managed to generate a lot of controversy in its short lifespan (see, for example, Dennehy, 2007; Dubecki, 2007; McLean, 2007; Wright, 2007), but also drew much praise for its satirising of, and commentary on, topical issues. Through interviews with the program’s producers, qualitative audience research and textual analysis, this paper will focus on this show’s media satire, and the segment ‘What Have We Learned From Current Affairs This Week?’ in particular. Viewed as a form of ‘Critical Intertextuality’ (Gray, 2006), this segment (which offered a humorous critique of the ways in which news and current affairs are presented elsewhere on television) may equip citizens with a better understanding of the new genre’s production methods, thus producing a higher level of public media literacy. This paper argues that through its media satire, The Chaser acts not as a traditional news program would in informing the public with new information, but as a text which can inform and shape our understanding of news that already exists within the public sphere. Humorous analyses and critiques of the media (like those analysed in this paper), are in fact very important forms of infotainment, because they can provide “other, ‘improper,’ and yet more media literate and savvy interpretations” (Gray, 2006, p.
