AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Catherine Fisher's Sound Citizens: Australian Women Broadcasters Claim their Voice, 1923-1956 (2021) examines the history of women's broadcasting from the introduction of radio in 1923 to the introduction of television in 1956. During this time, women broadcasters made a major contribution to women's empowerment, and literally and figuratively gave Australian women a public voice. Fisher utilises textual evidence in the form of radio periodicals, scripts, and institutional and personal correspondence to trace the impact of radio in connecting the private sphere of the home with public and international affairs. Her research presents the experiences of professional women broadcasters, female activists and politicians who used radio as a platform for education, community building and advocacy.' (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.'
