Newspapers
The newspaper industry in Australia has undergone a fundamental transformation since the advent of digital publishing. This has seen the closure of large numbers of titles and the loss of thousands of jobs since the 1990s.

In a further indication of recovery, the number of newsp…
The Curative Effect of Social Media on Fake News
Rhetoric surrounding the fake news crisis suggests social media is a primary contributor, allowing a greater variety of channels through which information, presented as news, can be published for financial or ideological gain.

News in 'New Media
The quest to identify the 'new' in new media has led to recognition of an historical continuity in the technological and cultural circumstances surrounding the introduction of new media forms. A newer area of research is the identification of a similar patterning in the adaptation of content delivery. This article examines news content through a snapshot of two periods in Australian news media history: the arrival of television news in 1956, and …
