Australian media reception histories [Introduction to the themed papers. Paper in: Australian Media Reception Histories. Arrow, Michelle; Griffen-Foley, Bridget and Hughes-Warrington, Marnie (eds).]

As the field of Australian media history expands, so too does the need for a broader and more innovative range of questions, issues and debates. This special issue of MIA responds to that need by considering the sources and research questions raised by media reception historians working on film, radio, television and the press. From print to new media, the papers assembled highlight the ingenuity of Australian historians working to recover the experiences of audiences in urban and regional settings.
