Broadcasting is being transformed by new technologies, global commercial pressures, and shifting government policies. This book describes the challenges posed by new and old media for government and consumers.
How can we make the most of the new technologies? Can we ensure that emerging digital services provide diversity in news and opinion? Can we continue to regulate for cultural and social purposes, such as Australian content and children's programmes?
'Misunderstanding Media' explains why current Australian policy does not serve the public interest in a diverse and growing media system, and it sets out a new agenda for reform.
