Welcome to the Australian Edition

 

Volume 3, Issue 1 - 2009 – Current Issue

GMJ/AU is pleased to release Volume 3 #1 issue for 2009.
This issue highlights the work of several important Australian academics that contribute regularly to communications and media debates in this country.

We lead this issue with a significant piece by Professor Terry Flew of the Queensland University of Technology titled “Beyond Globalisation: Rethinking the Scalar and the Relational in Global Media Studies”. This work is a thorough rethink of the idea of the ‘global’. It argues for a view that reworks the idea of the global by introducing new concepts of spatial definition – the ‘scalar’ and the ‘relational’.

The NBN saga rolls on. AMM readers will recall that the centrepiece of the Rudd Government’s election promise of a high-speed national broadband network was that a contracted network-builder receive $A4.7bn of government funds as the basis of a public-private partnership model.

An important element of a parliamentary review process set up in 2008 was to establish the terms of the tender documents, which were to call for offers to build a new high-speed network.
By mid-2008 the Australian Senate had launched a review of broadband regulation, and began to consult widely about the establishment of an appropriate NBN model and the mode of its rollout (Senate Select Committee, 2008).
