Funded Activity Summary

Media Change. Political Change - Developments in Australian Newspapers' Political Reporting in the Age of Television. It is frequently asserted that the role of the press has changed since the advent of television, but there is a curious lack of data documenting the changes. This project will provide extensive, systematic and analytically-informed information about trends in newspapers' political coverage. Through an innovative combination of quantitative and qualitative research designs, it will chart the extent and timing of changes, and illuminate the external and internal forces driving them. The press remains central to the quality of Australian democracy and public discourse, and so there is a strong public interest in making debates about its changing performance more empirically grounded and analytically penetrating.
