Australian Media Reception Histories
Issue No 131 (May 2009)
Theme Editors: Michelle Arrow, Bridget Griffen-Foley and Marnie Hughes-Warrington

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).
