Funded Activity Summary

The New Politics of Food and the Australian Media. The provenance of food and the ethics of food production and consumption are increasingly a focus of mainstream media, including television cooking shows, cookbooks, advertising, news and online media. This is the result of alliances between the media and the food industries, alliances that are reinvesting food and food politics with new meaning and significance. This project investigates the complex dynamics of interaction between these two important Australian industries by examining their texts, economies and practices. It will reveal their significant effects on corporate decision-making, consumer behaviours, public debate and national policy.
