About the Book

Commended, Human Rights Award in the Arts (Human Rights and Equal Opportunely Commission) 1997 The first 100 years of broadcasting are over. A revolution is underway. Two revolutions in fact. One, the upheaval we all know about, is brought by the new technology. The spectrum is no longer limited: TV and radio can reach anywhere, in almost unlimited profusion. The second revolution is by stealth. Public broadcasters such as the ABC face burial or dismemberment. The values their programs represent are being torn apart. Newspapers write pre-emptive obituries nearly every day. This is a world-wide phenomenon. It is caused by political myopia and technological opportunism. It is against the public interest. In fact, the public is not being asked what it wants. This book attempts to analyse the forces for change in Australia, Britain, Canada, USA and parts of Europe. It suggests that the content of broadcasting is being ignored while everyone is being asked to genuflect to the new machinery. Robyn Williams says that the next 5 years are crucial. If we survive them with our broadcasting culture intact, we can move to a new era of 21st century communication - one to suit Australian needs and the demands of a turbulent world. This book is for everyone who treasures the ABC and the best in broadcasting. It also addresses the political, economic and technological options and is of interest to specialists in media policy and studies. This is a personal book written by someone with over 30 year's experience in radio and TV.
