SBS-Tv
Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) shows a range of him and television programs for particular language fragments. Television standards and context sensitivity questions favour selection of movies and television drama series as SBS&s;s premier form of multilingual programming. SBS defends its selection and scheduling of non-English films and television series on the grounds of quality and an apparently random selection process based upon getting …
The rise and fall of entrepreneurial television, 1986—92
Responsibility for that must be shared by financial deregulation and Australia&s;s entrepreneurial business culture of the 1980s. Sophisticated national advertising placement strategies evolved in ad agencies to get around the then relatively disconnected Australian television system. The stability and profitability of the Australian commercial television industry was itself a product of cost monitoring and managed competition. The Australian cli…
High communications policy in Australia
Regulatory, commercial and technological changes within Australian media after November 1986, when taken in conjunction with changes in business, politics and government regulation, reshaped the culture of television in Australia towards a high communications policy. The changes towards a high communications policy saw the Australian television industry further integrated with the international television system. The Australian Broadcasting Tribu…
National television in the new cultural order
The changes in the relationship between television and national culture over the 1990s will mostly be driven by a combination of globalisation, minority self-assertion, and geopolitical refashionings of nations and national arrangements in the new international order. It is contemporary fashion not only to see these as holding out different prospects for television and national culture, but to see them as fundamentally compromising the projects o…
Television's double face
Managers balance programming costs of each to competitive advantage. Australian programming negotiates a local presence in the context of imported programming; imported programming needs to be &s;naturalised&s;. Australian regulation, from inception, ensured local ownership of television services. Canada and Australia represent the best that Hollywood can expect from television exports. The relationships between imported and local programming hav…
Television and national culture
Australian content rules are legitimated on the basis that domestically produced television supports national culture. Television is important to national cultural projects because—along with other mass media and education—it is an important agency of 'popular socialisation'. Television's local and regional levels produce their own programming orientations and imagined communities of viewers. In being transnational in programming and program conc…
Australia's television culture
Australia&s;s national broadcasters and its commercial stations are different from their British and United States (US) counterparts. US and Australian commercial television regulations governing ownership and control have mostly borne a distinct family resemblance to each other. Station independence has been the norm for most of Australian television history. Stations in Australia never surrendered their control over advertising to networks or t…

Media Histories
If the first section of this Australian Media History issue of MIA focused on the first 50 years of The Australian newspaper, this second section, Media Histories, provides a general selection of articles covering different aspects of Australian media history. Designed to represent the several contemporary trends in Australian media history scholarship, this state-of-the-discipline collection covers a range of media and time periods. It shows how…
Wellington and Auckland as Australasian media cities
Increasing scholarly attention is being paid to the places within which film and television production occurs to capture the geographical dimensions of screen production. This article considers New Zealand's two media cities, Auckland and Wellington, in terms of their screen production activity, their relation to each other and their relation to Australian and international screen media industries. Between them, Wellington and Auckland are respon…

Globalisation from within? The De-Nationalising of Australian Film and Television Production
Saskia Sassen argues that globalisation is taking place deep inside countries and 'institutional domains that have largely been constructed in national terms'. This type of globalisation is localised to 'national' and 'subnational' settings, but is reorienting them towards global agendas and systems. The result is an unremarked de-nationalising of national policy domains, processes, activities and instruments. In this article, we argue that these…
Styles of national and global integration
Australian film and television production is concentrated in two principal cities, Sydney and Melbourne, and dispersed among the metropolitan centres of Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth and the next rung of cities and regions including the Gold Coast, Canberra, Hobart and Darwin among others. National and international integration is reshaping the relations among, the television programming taking place within, and the production capabilities and inf…
From Neighbours to Packed to the Rafters
If there is one television programming staple for which Australian television drama is known internationally, it is the long-running television soap, with Neighbours (originally produced by Grundy in 1985) lauded as 'the most outstanding example of Australian series export' (Cunningham and Jacka, 1996). Twenty-five years on, this program still airs on domestic and international TV schedules five days a week, despite waning popularity with local A…
The Film Producer as the Long-stay Business Tourist
Studies of the connection between film and tourism have tended to foreground film-induced tourism whether as a consequence of films being made in particular locations or as arguments for encouraging film production activity in a particular location. In both cases film production is seen to be beneficial for the ancillary benefits it creates in terms of destination awareness. In this article, however, we suggest that film-induced tourism is a some…
Making Cultural Policy
Policy makers face a number of difficulties meeting the traditional cultural and social objectives of broadcasting and film policy development in a rapidly changing digital environment. This new environment requires broadcasting policy and film policy alike to substantially adjust their settings to “speak to” new governmental, industry, and political priorities. Broadcasting and film policy-making frameworks now need to adjust to policy and indus…

For the last 40 years the dominant framework for understanding Australian television has been via its contribution to national identity. Australian television drama has been no exception—it has bee
The Utility of a Global Forum
This paper contrasts the role of UNESCO as a global forum, one with a particular remit for dialogue and tolerance, with the more limited attention given to it by local actors. UNESCO forums, declarations and principles are argued to be significant for their capacity to be diffused as common sense in communications and cultural policy-making. This capacity to create shared norms has made UNESCO both important and contentious, with its New World In…
From Multimedia to Digital Content and Applications
This article analyses the two policy moments of digital content industries policy development of the Keating (1992-96) and Howard (2001-04) governments. In bringing these two moments into dialogue, our aim is to illuminate and evaluate the broader policy frameworks, and the political and policy contexts, which gave rise to and subsequently shaped these different digital content strategies. The Keating government connected culture and services to …

Too Much Culture, too Little Culture
This paper considers the paradoxical situation confronting contemporary cultural policymaking wherein it is simultaneously centralised in creative city/industries and cultural diversity agendas while marginalised in broadcasting and film policy deliberations. This dual movement, it is argued, is the consequence of cultural policy becoming less its own sui generis domain and more part of a variety of other governmental processes, spheres, knowledg…
Introducing Ratings in Transition
There is considerable ferment surrounding audience measurement systems in Australia and internationally (Balnaves, O'Regan and Sternberg, 2002). This article identifies the range and sources of this ferment. It pinpoints several pressure points such as the constitution of ratings panels and the problems of survey fatigue in a fragmenting media environment. Consideration is also given to 'next generation' ratings measurement technologies such as t…

This seminar discusses the implications for the industry of changes in the provision of ratings services in the metropolitan television markets in Australia. It brings together key players from the ratings companies, media planners and buyers, public broadcasters and leading academics. A particular focus of the seminar was the different results emerging from the ACNielsen and OzTAM people meter panels in the first half of 2001. This discussion il…
Rating the Audience
Knowing, measuring and understanding media audiences have become a multi-billion dollar business. But the convention that underpins that business, audience ratings, is in crisis. Rating the Audience is the first book to show why and how audience ratings research became a convention, an agreement, and the first to interrogate the ways that agreement is now under threat. Taking a historical approach, the book looks at the evolution of audience rati…

Thinking about policy utility
IN THE PUBLIC discussion of South African policy making it is quite common to see Australia cited as a comparable country whose policies, approaches and strategies could be usefully appropriated in the South African context. The sites of applicability are varied--from cultural diversity policy development to access and equity programs; from the internationalisation of the economy to cultural tourism; from the stock exchange to film and broadcasti…

Digitisation, international agreements, converging services, proliferating platforms and the prospects of additional services are all affecting the conduct of media regulation worldwide, transforming the ways media regulation is considered and debated by scholars, activists and players alike. In these circumstances, the range of institutions concerned with media regulation has expanded. Important policy innovations are just as likely to be recomm…
