Established in 2005, DrinkWise funds health research in universities, runs public health campaigns and engages in public relations activities. We use a framing analysis to examine the way DrinkWise frames problems, judgements and solutions related to alcohol consumption and policy. The aim of this analysis is to examine how journalistic practice legitimises DrinkWise and facilitates the organisation’s communicative activities. In addition, we consider how DrinkWise’s representation in the press works alongside the organisation’s array of communicative activities to facilitate the commercial objectives of the alcohol industry. We draw on the implications of this analysis to conceptualise how distinct forms of communicative work – such as academic research, policy-making, journalism and marketing, advertising and public relations – are interconnected. 2011-12-19T00:00:00Z Carah, Nicholas og van Horen, Andrew http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:82390 2007-08-15T00:00:00Z Louw, P E og Servaes, J E J og Thomas, P N http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:73693 2007-08-15T00:00:00Z Kirkpatrick, R. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:141195 2008-06-10T00:00:00Z Kirkpatrick, R. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:82366 2007-08-15T00:00:00Z Kirkpatrick, R http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:66165 2007-08-15T00:00:00Z Kirkpatrick, R. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:297350 2013-04-13T07:31:04Z Sean Rintel http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:165776 The prominence of media events in 2006, including the release of former US Vice President Al Gore's documentary An Inconvenient Truth, the publication of the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, even the death of 'eco-celebrity' Steve Irwin, suggested a need to devote an issue of Media International Australia to media and the environment. The study of environmentalism through the lens of media, journalism and communication is all but absent in Australia, with some notable exceptions. This issue of MIA goes some way towards redressing the absences identified by Tom Jagtenberg and David McKie in their influential book Eco-Impacts and the Greening of Postmodernity, published more than 10 years ago, which claimed for the environment an equal status with traditional research foci: class, race and gender The current public interest in environmental issues emphasises this point, although it is not unprecedented History shows that environmental issues move in waves to and from the heart of public debate. As well as showcasing some of the field's distinct approaches and traditions, the articles in this issue contribute to a better understanding of this current wave and its likely aftermath. In doing so, it goes some way towards moving the environment in the direction of a more central position on the research and public agenda. 2009-03-03T00:00:00Z van Vuuren, Kitty og Lester, Libby http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:78282 2007-08-15T00:00:00Z Kirkpatrick, R. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:58854 2007-08-14T00:00:00Z Kirkpatrick, R. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:271924 2012-03-29T00:00:00Z Meakins, Felicity og Rintel, Sean http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:11298 The monograph examines editorial independence in newspapers in an age where the editorial and commercial sides of newspapers are increasingly converging.

Ltd. (QNPL), between 1996 and 2002. QNPL is Australia's fifth largest capital city newspaper organisation and part of the News Limited group, controlled by Rupel1 Murdoch's transnational News Corporation. The study documents the architecture of the infrastructure, which was needed so that large-scale pagination and Internet communications could be implemented at the journalism workforce. This documentation parallels digital architecture within News Limited Australia-wide since 1995 and shows how News Limited was able to achieve national production efficiencies using digital networking between editorial sites, initially in capital cities. Of extra interest is the fact that central elements of these digital networks, pagination software, and practices - especially Microsoft Windows-driven pagination packages - were implemented and tested in Queensland before they were implemented at other News Limited enterprises and this makes the QNPL experience of special impOl1ance. Coincidentally, as this article is being published, QNPL has just announced that implementation of personal desktop email and Internet access for all its journalists is nearly complete, having commenced roll-out more than five years before. 2009-01-27T16:20:55Z Cokley, John http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:61958 2007-08-14T00:00:00Z Kirkpatrick, R. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:209949 The kit 'aims to mainstream education issues into the news agenda of international, national and community media. It is also intended for emerging online journalists, including those who write for web logs or blogs. It identifies story ideas and the appropriate information sources. The Kit will enable journalists to put a human face behind the usually cold education statistics, i.e., survival rate, participation rate, dropout rate, and basic and functional literacy rates which otherwise do not mean anything to the ordinary media audience'.

R. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:77910 Australia is second only to Israel in being the world’s most culturally diverse nation, based largely on high levels of immigration in the second part of the 20th century. From the 1970s onwards, Australia formally recognized the massive social changes brought about by postwar immigration, and provided legislation to incorporate cultural diversity into everyday lives. One such ‘legislative’ enactment saw the establishment of multicultural broadcasting in Australia, as arguably a world-first, both in its comprehensiveness and diversity. Today, Australia has a public sector corporation, the Special Broadcasting Service, administering five radio services in 68 languages. Also, the Community Radio sector produces multicultural programming in 100 languages through a number of its 330 broadcast and 207 narrowcast stations. This article examines the relationship between radio and its communities. It argues that despite the ‘profile’ of SBS television, radio is much closer to its constituent communities, and therefore plays a greater role in enabling those communities to speak their own histories, beyond the confines of a consensual Anglophile paradigm. 2007-08-15T00:00:00Z Lawe Davies, Chris http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:101005 2007-08-23T00:00:00Z Liu, S. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:281048 2012-09-03T15:26:48Z Lee, Philip og Thomas, Pradip Ninan http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:82361 2007-08-15T00:00:00Z Kirkpatrick, R http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:129923 2008-02-18T00:00:00Z Kirkpatrick, R. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:161860 Dr. Cokley, 48, from the University of Queensland in Australia and formerly a long-time newspaper and magazine writer, editor and trainer, has just returned from leading a four-day workshop on precisely this topic in Tehran, Iran. 2009-01-27T00:00:00Z Cokley, J. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:82311 This is the third article of a series entitled Astronauts as Audiences. In this article, we investigate the roles that situation awareness (SA), communications, and reality TV (including media communications) might have on the lives of astronauts in remote space communities. We examined primary data about astronauts’ living and working environments, applicable theories of SA, communications, and reality TV (including media communications). We then surmised that the collective application of these roles might be a means of enhancing the lives of astronauts in remote space communities. 2007-08-15T00:00:00Z Cokley, J D og Rankin, II, B http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:195233 2010-02-12T00:00:00Z Nicholas Carah http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:284335 This study describes the media portrayal of the oil spiff by the container ship the Pacific Adventurer, which took place off the Queensland coast, near Brisbane, on 11 March 2009, during the state election campaign. A content analysis was applied to The Courier-Mail and The Sunday Mail using a sample of 80 print articles. The study identifies adversarial, episodic, and governmental frames, with political and government sources the most commonly used. Contextual information concerning socio-economic and environmental impacts was largely absent. These results conform to findings found in international studies of media coverage of oil spilfs. Furthermore, and contrary to expectations, the timing of the disaster during the election campaign appeared to have had little effect on how the disaster was reported. 2012-11-05T00:00:00Z Meissner, Katie http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:101204 2007-08-23T00:00:00Z Kirkpatrick, R. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:11257 Ethics asks the 'ought' question. Ought Laurie Oakes have disclosed Cheryl Kernot's affair with Gareth Evans? Ought the affair be taken into account in any assessment of Kernot's motives for defecting to the ALP? Ought Kernot have disclosed the affair to ALP leaders before her defection? Ought Kernot have omitted the affair from her memoir? Ought politicians' private lives be paraded in public? Ought journalists re-consider their treatment of high-profile women in public life? All these issues and more are discussed in the colloquium below. 2009-07-24T00:00:00Z Breit, Rhonda og Harrison, John og Hirst, Martin og McLellan, Trina og Bartlett, Desley http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:201203 © Australian Vocational Education and Training Research Association 2010-03-30T00:00:00Z Cokley, John D. og Rankin, William http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:194469 2010-02-02T00:00:00Z Lawe Davies, C. R. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:78901 This article explores the social and cultural roles of ethnic print media in the country within the prism of Canada's multicultural policy. Specifically, the article examines how the ethnic groups are framed in the mainstream national media in Canada and then examines how these ethnic media are [re]constructing their own identities in contrast to their framed identities in the mainstream national print media such as the Globe and Mail, National Post and Toronto Sun. In exploring the overall socio-political impacts of these ethnic print media on the social fabrics and cultural identity in Canadian society, Montreal Community Contact, an ethnic newspaper of the black community in Montreal, is used as a case study.

Survival was the priority. Many country papers in the 1850s and 1860s were as short-lived as the rushes for gold to the districts where some papers were established. Rare was the country newspaper that did not engage vigorously in promoting the material and social advancement of its town and district. This boosterism tended to dilute editorial vigour in other directions, such as attacking the Establishment when appropriate. This paper deals with an exceptional editor in exceptional circumstances: an editor confronted with an increasingly explosive situation on goldfields several days from the seat of government. The developing crisis was fuelled by a belligerent and arrogant authority and an increasingly resistant mining community that saw no hint of a fair go in how its members were being treated. This paper reappraises, 150 years on, the performance of the local editor in the events that led to and followed what is known simply as "Eureka", a bloody battle provoked by an arrogant and uncaring administration. 2005-06-03T00:00:00Z Kirkpatrick, Rod http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:83748 2007-08-13T00:00:00Z Servaes, J.E.J. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:83750 2007-08-13T00:00:00Z Servaes, J.E.J. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:268830 Companies have increasingly adopted stakeholder dialogue and engagement processes to address stakeholder concerns and increase trust, mutual understanding, and to provide better processes of communication regarding their activities. To foster dialogue and increase information sharing between various stakeholders for Arctic oil and gas development, a series of dialogues have been initiated by Bodø Graduate School of Business (Norway), High North Center of Business and Governance (Norway), and public relations firm HBW Resources (USA), called Arctic Dialogue. The purpose of article is to evaluate from the perspective of communication and stakeholder theory. Furthermore the article describes key features and the role of Arctic Dialogue in shaping mutual understanding. In general the findings present an overview of perceptions and impact of the Dialogue process and suggest that Arctic Dialogue is an effective and appropriate activity to integrate stakeholders, information sharing and create mutual understanding. 2012-03-02T13:22:12Z Makki, Muhammad http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:237420 From 1998 to 2008, a total of 3,543 Somali and 24,447 Sudanese settlers came to Australia, most of them under the refugee status. This intake is, to some extent, reflective of Australia’s most recent approach to humanitarian resettlement that has fostered a shift of policy priority, with approximately 70 per cent of all entrants since 2003 arriving from Africa. Hence, as a growing and visibly different minority group, many African arrivals have been a focal point in recent research about the impact of their racial visibility in discrimination. While subject to multiple forms of marginalisation as refugees and as Africans, many have also been stigmatised on religious grounds because of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and perhaps, more recently, due to some extremist activities in Australia. Therefore, this paper, which leans on the work done by Colic-Peisker and Tilbury (2007), examines the role of racial, religious, and tribal visibility and the resulting marginalisation on the Somali and Sudanese former refugee communities now settled in Australia. We first discuss issues of visible difference for Somali and Sudanese Australians followed by the impact of their particular visible markers on employment. The paper concludes with a dialogue of the multiple layers of marginalisation that Somali and Sudanese refugees face in an employment context due to visible difference, which may also help explain the discrimination in the labour market. 2011-03-18T00:00:00Z Hebbani, Aparna og McNamara, Jayson http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:229261 2011-02-16T00:00:00Z Thomas, Pradip http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:141210 2008-06-10T00:00:00Z Kirkpatrick, R. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:143242 Evolving Press Councils in two Pacific nations, Fiji and Papua New Guinea, have made major contributions to notions of fairness, balance and accountability in the region and the raising of professional standards. They have also warded off varying attempts to gag or hinder the news media from carrying out its role in the public interest. But pressures and dilemmas continue in the region, often from a cultural as well as a political perspective. The media in some countries is refreshingly outspoken and courageous; in others there is a worrying trend towards self-censorship. Journalism education is also of growing importance in the Pacific and a key foundation for media freedom. 2008-06-10T00:00:00Z Robie, David http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:272488 2012-04-10T10:57:51Z Harrison, John
