Communication traditions in Australia

the long version

"By focusing on the ways in which communication has been experienced, thought of, and argued about over time by the Australian people, Communication Traditions in Australia: Packaging the People addresses the following question: is it possible to speak of the evolution of Australian communication traditions?". "In this new text, the authors draw on a selection of surviving artefacts of communication history, as well as a range of secondary sources, to take the story of communication back to the pre-federation years of the 1890s and to provide in-depth coverage of contemporary Australia. Using political economy, social history, and cultural theory, this book critically analyses the history of Australian thinking about communication and places it in a global setting."--BOOK JACKET.
