Desirable Types: Australian Press Photography and Jewish Refugees 1935-49
This article analyses Australian news photographs of Jewish refugees during two pivotal eras: from 1935 to 1939, when increasing numbers of refugees sought asylum from Nazi persecution in Europe; and from 1945, in the wake of the Holocaust, as the Australian federal Labor government was formalising Australian citizenship and embarking on a program of expanded immigration, while still adhering to the restrictive White Australia policy. The article…
Perilous: Australian news photographers and trauma
Using oral testimony with 60 present and former Australian newspaper photographers, this article examines their frequent exposure to high-risk situations and the physical and psychological costs. Photographers engage with both vulnerability and aberration, and at the same time negotiate with editors who demand and prize a proximity and emotional closeness to danger. With a particular focus on war, disaster, and everyday assignments, the article r…
Photographing Lindy: Australian press photography and the Chamberlain case, 1980-2012
This article analyses the news photography surrounding a high-profile case of alleged matricide in Australia: the disappearance of 9-month-old Azaria Chamberlain, and the subsequent murder trial and eventual acquittal of her mother, Lindy. While the scholarship on the media's conduct during Chamberlain's ordeal has been exhaustive, the press photographers' role has not been considered. Drawing on oral history interviews with newspaper photographe…
Chasing the Pictures: Press and Magazine Photography
For over a century, press and magazine photography has influenced how Australians have viewed society, and played a critical role in Australia's evolving national identity. Despite its importance and longevity, the historiography of Australian news photography is surprising limited. This article examines the history of press and magazine photography and considers its genesis, the transformative technological innovations, debates about images of v…
Good Campers: The History of Australian War Reporting
When the Chief of British Intelligence told Australia’s First Official War Correspondent, C.E.W Bean in October 1914 that war reporters were a ‘dying profession’, Bean recorded in his diary that on the contrary, he thought it was the beginning of a new era. Bean proved prescient. Since 1863 Australia has had over 750 journalists, photographers and cinematographers covering international conflicts. Despite this tradition, the history of Australian…
Mosquitoes Dancing on the Surface of the Pond”: Australian conflict reporting and technology
This article examines the impact of technology on Australian conflict reporting using the experiences and insights of the practitioners themselves. There is a prevailing belief that war and foreign correspondents are more liberated and the audience better informed as technology permits immediate communication from the frontline. The article considers the challenges faced by previous generations of war correspondents and the contrasting experience…

Into the night: Max Crawford, the Labyrinth of the Social Studies Enquiry and Asio's ‘Spoiling Operations’
This article examines the Social Studies Affair, a controversy that erupted in 1961 when the venerated historian, Max Crawford wrote to the Bulletin and drew attention to a University staffing matter under the guise of exposing a Communist plot. What followed was a prolonged and, at times, vicious debate about intellectual freedom. The case exposed the prevailing Cold War obsession with communism, the various campaigns against ‘suspect’ academics…
