AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Media historian Bridget Griffen-Foley’s most recent monograph traces the archival remnants from the 1920s to the 1990s of Australian broadcast media audiences. This ambitious project, covering radio listenership and television viewership, might at first appear unwieldy, yet Griffen-Foley has carefully assembled a series of “perspectives” (1) where traces of media audiences’ fandom, complaints, club membership and involvement in television and radio programming offer a rich picture of how “ordinary” Australians interacted with broadcast media throughout the 20th century.'(Introduction)

    'In another bumper issue of the Journal of Australian Studies, the expanse of Australian studies takes us from frontier history, crime narrative and visual culture through to questions of free speech, minority cultural identity, “larrikins” in Australian televisual culture, and feral horses. We are also pleased to offer an insight into current polling in the lead-up to the late 2023 referendum on the question of an Indigenous Voice to Parliament inscribed in the Constitution. The picture that emerges reflects the uncertain terrain of the referendum’s outcome, an extremely timely piece given the rancorous debate that surrounds it.' (Brigid Magner and Emily Potter, Editorial introduction)
