Aprašymas

Since the 1960s Australia has undergone a cultural revolution. During this period, five public media and arts bodies have been key players in the emergence of the unique national identity that Australians now enjoy. The five institutions are the national public broadcaster, the ABC; Australia's multicultural broadcaster, SBS; our renowned performing arts school, NIDA; the world-leading film, television and radio school, AFTRS; and our media regulator, the Australian Communications and Media Authority, the ACMA.

The timely and ongoing support by successive Australian governments (both Labor and Coalition) of these influential cultural institutions, and their collective impact as builders of culture for Australia, is a largely untold story but an important one.
Malcolm Long tells this tale through three lenses: the origins and evolution of these five organisations; his often colourful experiences as a leader in each of these lively, passionate and sometimes controversial bodies; and a look at their uncertain futures in today's era of global digitisation.

This important book provides fresh perspectives on the emergence of Australia's national identity while also revealing inside stories of events, celebrities, political and public figures in the battles for hearts and minds in an era of radical cultural change.
