Current issue

The Globalisation of Advertising in Asia
Issue No 133 (November 2009)
Editor: John Sinclair

The SBS is the subject of a special section of this issue which includes the transcripts of a panel discussion held at the recent Australian and New Zealand Communication Association Conference (ANZCA09). We are most grateful to ANZCA President Terry Flew for making these available to us and for doing such a fine job of editing. Of particular interest in this discussion is what Gay Hawkins describes as the media’s role in the technologies of citizenship, and how SBS has figured in this equation.

The themed section on ‘The Globalisation of Advertising in Asia’ looks at Australia's orientation to Asia in terms of culture and trade with a series of papers brought together by John Sinclair that were first presented at an international symposium of that name in Melbourne in 2008. Taken together, as John points out in his Introduction, these papers underline just how diverse this region really is through an exploration of the character and role of advertising in these developing economies.
