  • The Australian Media Reaction to Wikileaks
    Globally Networked Public Spheres? The Australian Media Reaction to WikiLeaks Terry Flew & Bonnie Rui Liu – Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology Abstract The global release of 250,000 US Embassy diplomatic cables to selected media sites worldwide through the WikiLeaks website, was arguably the major global media event of 2010. As well as the implications of the content of the cables for international politics and diplomacy, the actions of WikiLeaks and its controversial editor-in-chief, the Australian Julian Assange, bring together a range of arguments about how the media, news and journalism are being transformed in the 21st century. This paper will focus on the reactions of Australian online news media sites to the release of the diplomatic cables by WikiLeaks, including both the online sites of established news outlets such as The Australian, Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, the ABC’s The Drum site, and online-only sites such as Crikey, New Matilda and On Line Opinion. The study focuses on opinion and commentary rather than straight news reportage, and analysis is framed around three issues: WikiLeaks and international diplomacy; implications of WikiLeaks for journalism; and WikiLeaks and democracy, including debates about the organisation and the ethics of its own practice. It also whether a “WikiLeaks Effect” has wider implications for how journalism is conducted in the future, particularly the method of ‘redaction’ of large amounts of computational data. WikiLeaks and the public sphere theories The theory of the public sphere is commonly seen as one of the major contributions of media and communications theory to the social sciences.

While China is far from winning over the international community on its policies in Tibet, in recent years it has been making rapid progress in numerous areas. Through a proactive foreign policy, utilising both economic leverage and soft power diplomacy, the Chinese government is making determined efforts to erode the support the Tibet movement has built up over many years. In Australia, China’s influence has infiltrated political and educational institutions, perhaps more than in any country in the western world. In fact, extensive reports in the Australian media over the past year have revealed an alarming level of Chinese influence in Australia.

  • Towards a Cultural Policy for Great Events P
    B. García, Towards a Cultural Policy for Great Events p. 148 e) Government joint initiatives The previous points indicate how, up to year 2000, the approach of most Australian government bodies to support the cultural programme was rather vague and limited. To explain this, scholars such as Louw and Turner have pointed out at the conflict that took place in terms of ‘ownership’ of the Games (2000, pers. comm., 25 Aug). The Games had been awarded to the city of Sydney, so they were designed to be the responsibility of the state of NSW, and the federal government was to have only a secondary role in terms of decision-making and resource allowances. According to Louw and Turner, this led not only to a lack of coordination between state and federal bodies, but also to a certain sense of competition among different states which also wanted to benefit from the Games and had priorities and interests differing from the ones in Sydney and NSW. On some occasions, this led to a defensive posture on the part of SOCOG or NSW. This is best exemplified in their relationship with Queensland, a state very proactive and interested in taking part of the Olympic project which was not allowed a degree of participation as high as it would have expected. The low contributions of federal arts funding during the first three years of the Olympiad could also be understood as a measure to avoid conflicts among states. However, in preparation for the Olympic period, local, state and federal bodies joined their efforts in a common initiative that was to be one of the greatest catalysts for the promotion of the OAF.
