Call for papers

As adjacent white settler societies, Australia and New Zealand experienced similar histories of telegraph installation, news agency dependence and  newspaper proliferation. After dominion status was conferred separate histories of national independence and media-communication development lasted until the 1970s.  From then Maori and Aboriginal activist media openly challenged colonialist versions of national history. Media communication ownership began to assume a trans-Tasman dimension and the commercial media cultures of magazines, newspapers and television began to overlap. Today, the commonalities and differences of our media histories inhabit a global media environment.

With these thoughts in mind researchers are invited to submit papers in response to the following themes and sub-themes. Each themed conference session will mix Australian and New Zealand content. Cross-national, comparative research is especially welcome.
