Funded Activity Summary

A study of the ABC in Asia and its role in cultural exchange. Technological and cultural exchange with Asia through the Australian Broadcasting Commission/Corporation has been critical in building cross-cultural awareness in both Australia and Asia. Recording and assessing the breadth and character of this exchange will assist Australia's capacity to interpret itself to the world. Analysing the interaction of a liberal-democratic broadcasting model with social organisation in Asia will enhance our capacity to engage with a changing regional media environment. A critical assessment of the ABC's international role will contribute to debates on the value of public broadcasting. The outcomes (book, database, oral histories) provide a permanent resource for researching media and Australia-Asian relations.
