  • Dry Spells, Drought, and Environmental Crisis: The Drought Feature in Australian Women’s Weekly Magazine, 1939–2019

    Open AccessRosemary WilliamsonARTICLEEnvironmental Communication2025

    Drought in Australia is expected but with climate change will worsen. Popular magazines can draw attention to and depict drought in distinctive as well as conventional ways, as shown by an analysis of content on drought in Australian Women’s Weekly from 1939 to 2019. That content, and in particular feature articles on drought, has established drought as a phenomenon experienced primarily by those who live and work on the land, promoted certain vi…

  • Life as Prime Minister: A Genre Study of Speeches Made by Australian Prime Ministers Following Leadership Spills

    Open AccessRosemary Williamson, Lili PâquetARTICLELife Writing2023References: 15

    Between 2010 and 2018, four Australian prime ministers were removed from office outside of a federal election, by leadership spills initiated by their party colleagues. Each of the prime ministers—Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull—delivered a televised speech shortly after the leadership spill. The speeches provided an early opportunity, long before the preparation of any book-length political memoir, for each departing …

  • Costumes of Empathy: Dress in Australian Newspaper Depictions of Prime Ministerial Responses to Natural Disaster from 1967

    Rosemary WilliamsonARTICLEMedia History2022References: 5

    Australian newspapers mediate the response of the prime minister to communities stricken by disaster. From 1967, newspapers have reported ritualised visits by the prime minister to sites of natural disaster along with associated press conferences. A historical overview of national and metropolitan newspapers reveals that through word and image, dress is presented as a meaningful performative element of these rituals and increasingly acknowledged …

  • Seeing for Himself: Harold Holt, Bushfire and Newspaper Depictions of Prime Ministerial Empathy

    Rosemary WilliamsonARTICLEJournal of Australian Studies2019

    The experience of bushfire continues to challenge Australians and those responsible for leading them. Since Federation, the news media have conveyed prime ministers’ expressions of sympathy and reassurance of recovery to those Australians affected by bushfire. A study of newspaper reports of prime ministers’ responses to exceptional fires—in 1926, 1939, 1967, 1983, 2003 and 2009—reveals an increasing emphasis on prime ministers being physically a…

  • Authenticity in Newspaper Coverage of Political Leaders’ Responses to Disaster: A Historical Study

    Rosemary WilliamsonARTICLEJournalism Studies2018Cited by: 4References: 12

    The news media both report and evaluate the compassionate responses made by political leaders to communities affected by natural disaster. When these responses are viewed as performances according to Alexander's theory of cultural pragmatics, authenticity—manifest in the display of empathy—emerges as a criterion for their evaluation by journalists. The essay traces the history of these evaluations. Taking Australia as a representative example of …

  • Australian Special-Interest Magazines: A Case Study in Community Formation and Survival

    Open AccessRosemary WilliamsonARTICLEMedia International Australia2014References: 12

    Special-interest titles represent a dynamic sector of the Australian magazine industry, yet few studies have been undertaken on them or their histories. Quilt-making titles serve as a case study of one of the most successful special-interest categories - craft - and special-interest magazines more generally. By tracing the evolution of magazines for quilters and by taking as its premise the rhetorical function of magazines in forming communities,…
