No full textMore than ever, the media dominate public life and shape public perceptions. At the same time, the rise of digital technologies means that demarcations between different forms of media are fading. Radio can be heard on an iPod, data accompanies television programs, and news snippets are available on mobile phones. The Media and Communications in Australia offers a systematic introduction to this dynamic and often bewildering field. Fully updated and revised to take account of recent developments, this second edition outlines the key media industries and explains how communications technologies are impacting on them. It provides a thorough overview of the main approaches taken in studying the media, and examines the thorny issues of media ethics, youth media, the media’s role in celebrity culture and the future of public broadcasting. With contributions from some of Australia’s best researchers and teachers in the field, The Media and Communications in Australia is the most comprehensive and reliable introduction to media and communications available. It is an ideal student text, and a reference for teachers of media and anyone interested in this influential industry
On-line film distribution : Its history and global complexion
No full text‘Nobody knows anything’, said William Goldman of studio filmmaking. The rule is ever more apt as we survey the radical changes that digital distribution, along with the digitisation of production and exhibition, is wreaking on global film circulation. Digital Disruption: Cinema Moves On-line helps to make sense of what has happened in the short but turbulent history of on-line distribution. It provides a realistic assessment of the genuine and not-so-promising methods that have been tried to address the disruptions that moving from ‘analogue dollars’ to ‘digital cents’ has provoked in the film industry. Paying close attention to how the Majors have dealt with the challenges – often unsuccessfully – it focuses as much attention on innovations and practices outside the mainstream. Throughout, it is alive to, and showcases, important entrepreneurial innovations such as Mubi, Jaman, Withoutabox and IMDb. Written by leading academic commentators that have followed the fortunes of world cinema closely and passionately, as well as experienced hands close to the fluctuating fortunes of the industry, Digital Disruption: Cinema Moves On-line is an indispensable guide to great changes in film and its audiences

Stuart Cunningham, In the Vernacular: A Generation of Cultural Criticism and Controversy
No full textIn the Vernacular brings together important works, written over a twenty-year period, from one of Australia's leading scholars of media, culture and policy. Tracking across Australia's still-neglected film heritage, and reflecting on the achievements of Australian television in the 1980s and 1990s, the book exemplifies the strengths of close attention to both history and industry context and the attractions of popular aesthetics. It engages with the global debate on multi-ethnic societies by focusing on extraordinary, yet barely visible, creativity 'at the margins'. It argues that industrial and social trends in media, communications and culture are outstripping the academic frameworks that were erected to deal with them, and provides a way forward that connects the discipline to the career outlooks and prospects of students - the future of the field. Stuart Cunningham has been at the forefront of the development of cultural and media studies specifically inflected to Australian conditions, and has led often controversial developments in cultural policy studies and creative industries. In the Vernacular provides a compelling picture of the vitality and excitement in a popular and growing field of study
