The Colin Roderick Lectures: 1995, Literature, Journalism and the Media

Abstract

This monograph by Graeme Turner, written as part of the Colin Roderick Lecture series, examines the state of, and the relationship between, two central cultural institutions: Australian literary studies and Australian journalism. Turner examines the contemporary connections between Australian literature and journalism, how literary figures are represented in the media and critiques a broader pattern of change and influence that has marked the development of the media in Australia over the last twenty years.
