Media analysis report - television current affairs

Phillips, G. (2009) Media analysis report - television current affairs. Reporting Diversity Project, Department of Immigration and Citizenship

Abstract

This is the third study funded by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship examining the way in which Australia’s television news media represent people from different ethnic backgrounds. While the previous two studies (2005 and 2007 – see Phillips and Tapsall, 2007a, 2007b; Phillips, 2008; Phillips, 2009, forthcoming) analysed television news, the focus of this study is television current affairs. Using a similar methodology the aim was to examine the amount of content featuring people from diverse ethnic backgrounds in television current affairs and the nature of reportage.
