Funded Activity Summary

Political Communication and Media Regulation in Australia. This research joins the study of the Australian media with a new body of international research on political communication. It shows how the Australian experience with the electronic and print media compares with that of other comparable countries. It gives evidence on what standards and expectations Australians apply to the media in the communication of political information. The research indicates what new regulatory principles will be needed to bring media regulation in Australia to international best standards. It will inform applications of the High Court of Australia's discovery of a new freedom of political communication.
