From Journal of Record to the 24/7 News Cycle
A core mission of sections of the print media has been to provide a ‘journal of record’, a comprehensive and impartial record of the operation of civic society, to allow citizens to participate meaningfully in representative democracy. This included providing timely, accurate, balanced and clear reports of court proceedings. However, there is evidence that this mission has been eroded, in part as a result of challenges to the traditional advertis…
The Emerging Deficit
Australians cluster in the country’s five largest coastal cities, which together account for more than 16 million of the nation’s 25 million people. This concentration of population in a vast continent presents abiding challenges for national politics and society. News media is no exception. Australian local and regional communities therefore offer a potent case study of the effects of changes in how news is produced and distributed, and the impa…

Watchdogs or Masters? The changing role of the Canberra Press Gallery
This Special Issue tackles increasing urgent questions about the role and performance of the Federal Parliamentary Press Gallery, a unique and valuable institution central to Australian political journalism. These questions about the Press Gallery’s contribution to political life include: how might we understand the changing authority and effectiveness of the Press Gallery? Has Australia entered an era when media failures are damaging the country…
Simply waltzing on? Reflections on the performance of the Canberra Press Gallery in an era of prime-ministerial instability
This article draws on interviews with members of the Canberra Press Gallery to reflect on the performance of journalists in reporting recent national leadership instability. This is in the context of claims that reporters assisted in fomenting the instability and were ethically compromised. The increased pace of the news media cycle and the role of social media has caused a ‘cacophonous’ environment which journalist believe contributes to instabi…
Changing Media Coverage of Violence Against Women
This article reports on recent research on some of the factors that may have led to changes in the way journalists report Violence Against Women (VAW) in Australia. Until recently, VAW has been largely reported by focusing on seemingly isolated events, rather than reporting VAW as a social problem, which has complex causes and requires a society-wide response. We report here on intensive interviews in two Australian newsrooms, both of which made …
Changing Media Coverage of Violence Against Women
This article reports on recent research concerning the use of sources by journalists reporting violence against women (VAW) in Australia. Until recently, VAW has been largely reported in the media by focusing on seemingly isolated events, rather than reporting VAW as a social problem. The international literature and Australian empirical studies show that journalists rely on law enforcement personnel as the expert “voices” that inform debate in t…
Understanding the civic impact of journalism
The importance of journalism to civil society is constantly proclaimed, but empirical evidence on journalism's impact, and how this operates, is surprisingly thin. Indeed, there is confusion even about what is meant by the term “impact”. Meanwhile, the issue of the role of journalism is becoming increasingly urgent as a consequence of the rapid changes engulfing the news media, brought about by technological change and the flow-on effect to the t…
We are not North Korea
This article draws on an empirical analysis of the testimonies of Chinese journalists to (re)consider the nature of professionalism in contemporary Chinese journalism. We draw on earlier work by a number of scholars to develop an analysis of the testimonies in order to trace both how professionalism is shaped by cultural, social, organizational, institutional and political influences, and how these work to shape everyday journalistic practices an…
A new symbiosis? Opportunities and challenges to hyperlocal journalism in the digital age
This article draws on 'hyperlocal' journalism scholarship to explore the civic functions of Australian local reporting in the digital age. Through place-based case studies based on interviews with media and civic leaders from three disparate communities, we find community groups are engaging with social media, particularly Facebook, to connect locals to services and community news. Community service providers are increasingly adept at using socia…
Confronting an Impasse
Hypatia 's twenty-fifth anniversary in 2009, coming on the heels of Simone de Beauvoir's 100th birthday in 2008, provides an ideal moment to reflect on the past and future of research on Beauvoir's philosophy—the subject of two past Hypatia issues. Reviewing these early issues in the light of more recent publications reveals both the progress in Beauvoir scholarship and a scholarly impasse that must be confronted if that progress is to continue
Beauvoir's Time/Our Time
SINCE THE EARLY SECOND WAVE, Simone de Beauvoir and her work have provided something of a Rorschach test for feminist theory, with dif ferent generations and genres of feminism each projecting their own pre occupations upon her. First hailed as Mother of Us All and as the author of the so-called Bible of Second Wave feminism, she was mainly treated in the 1970s as an icon or held up as an ideal. But although in the 1970s many feminists found pers…
