At this time of rapid and revolutionary change in modes of 
communication,/ A Companion to the Australian Media/ provides the first 
comprehensive, up-to-date historical account of Australia’s press, 
broadcasting and new media sectors.

Arranged in an accessible A–Z format are nearly 500 articles focussing 
on both the history and contemporary practice of media corporations, 
individuals, industries, audiences, policy and regulation since the 
launch of Australia’s first newspaper in 1803.

/A Companion to the Australian Media/ is essential reading, as well as a 
ready reference, for everyone interested in the dynamic world of the 
media, including practitioners, entrepreneurs, investors, lawyers, 
commentators, bloggers, historians and students.

Under the editorship of Australia’s leading media historian, Professor 
Bridget Griffen-Foley, and guided by a distinguished Editorial Advisory 
Board, 300 media scholars, journalists and other industry players have 
written entries in their areas of specialty.

Articles include coverage of geographical regions, reporting and 
reviewing genres, key individuals and dynasties as well as flagship 
newspapers and broadcasting icons.
