AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Over several decades, Bridget Griffen-Foley has produced a foundational body of work in Australian media studies. Ranging from that comprehensive history of Australian radio, Changing Stations, the definitive books on the Packer family (with apologies to Paul Barry's paperback), to editing A Companion to Australian Media – with many varied smaller stops between and beyond – Griffen-Foley's contributions to the discipline have foregrounded primary research and the relationality between the minor and the major in telling the histories of Australian media. This, her latest volume, continues this decades-long effort by engaging with Australian radio and TV listening and watching practices across five decades, and is an ambitious and rewarding collection of historical vignettes.' (Introduction)

    'The ongoing tension between the enduring problems that beset the telecommunications sector, and the potential economic and social benefits continually associated with these technologies is the point of departure for our Feature Topic, which reflects on the current state of telecommunications, while also casting a cautious eye forward. The articles in this Feature Topic outline ongoing challenges around connectivity as well as contestations over 5G rollouts and competing international visions. However, the articles are not solely defined by critique, and authors also take time to articulate a positive future for telecommunications, one more oriented towards the actual needs of citizens. Australia features prominently in these articles, but the section also offers a global perspective, with authors accounting for the Global South as well as developments across the Asia-Pacific.'
