[csaa-forum] MIA Issue 131 now available

[John Gunders]

Dear colleagues

 

Issue No 131 of Media International Australia (MIA) is now available:
Australian Media Reception Histories, edited by Michelle Arrow, Bridget
Griffen-Foley and Marnie Hughes-Warrington

 

>From the editorial: We are delighted to present a landmark collection of
papers on Australian Media Reception Histories. The themed section makes
for fascinating and thought-provoking reading - and really does, as the
editors suggest, foster a 'broader appraisal of the history of the
Australian media than traditional studies of production have provided'.
The eight papers they present cover a broad range of media forms
(sensationalist press, cinema, talkback radio, magazines, drama, news
and current affairs), and their authors inventively draw upon various
methods and forms of evidence (from trials and oral histories, through
readers and viewers' letters, to geography, GIS and web forums).

Abstracts and further details are available on the website:
