> (MIA) is now available: Australian Media 
> Reception Histories, edited by Michelle Arrow, 
> Bridget Griffen-Foley and Marnie Hughes-Warrington
>
> From the editorial: We are delighted to present 
> a landmark collection of papers on Australian 
> Media Reception Histories. The themed section 
> makes for fascinating and thought-provoking 
> reading ­ and really does, as the editors 
> suggest, foster a ?broader appraisal of the 
> history of the Australian media than 
> traditional studies of production have 
> provided?. The eight papers they present cover 
> a broad range of media forms (sensationalist 
> press, cinema, talkback radio, magazines, 
> drama, news and current affairs), and their 
> authors inventively draw upon various methods 
> and forms of evidence (from trials and oral 
> histories, through readers and viewers? 
> letters, to geography, GIS and web forums).
> Abstracts and further details are available on 
> the website: <http://www.emsah.uq.edu.au/mia/>www.emsah.uq.edu.au/mia/
