Funded Activity Summary

New media voices in the Australian values debate. Long standing policy debates about Australian values have been reinvigorated in the context of a global war on terror. The Federal Government has identified Australian values as being central to the nation's security. Cultures are defined by their values, and media systems are the means by which they produce and propagate value systems. Safeguarding Australia means having coherent ways to teach identifiable, desirable, and relevant values. This project investigates Australian values in education by identifying which institutions and traditions most influence Australian youth and how these influences are played out in new media forums such as YouTube and MySpace.
