Public Voices, Private Interests

Public Voices, Private Interests examines the social and policy context of Australian media and communications in the 1990s. Dealing with both print and the broadcast media, it covers the key areas of debate: new communications technologies, deregulation, cable and pay television, major restructuring within the communications industries and Australian content requirements. It also includes chapters on community radio, SBS and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander media. This collection is essential reading for students in Media Studies and Politics, and anyone looking for a better understanding of our Fourth Estate.
