Centralisation in regional radio: networking and localism in the super radio network

This paper provides a brief discussion of localism and networking in the radio broadcasting industry; in particular, it focuses on the Super Radio Network (SRN), the largest radio network in New South Wales. Through interviews with management and the observation of announces and journalists who broadcast both locally and throughout the SRN, the paper looks at the place radio stations hold in a networking situation and how localism on regional radio seems more important to the regulators than to the radio industry. One aspect of deregulation of the radio industry, which was carried out through the Broadcast Services Act 1992, was the ability of licensees to increase the number of radio licenses they could hold from a maximum of seven to an uncapped amount nationally, with a limit of two stations per licence area. The consequence of this was an increase in networked hours, ownership concentration, lack of diversity and, importantly, the loss of local voices and local content in regional areas. While networking is not new to the radio industry, the way it occurs post-deregulation is very different. Prior to deregulation, licensees in regional areas generally operated from 0500am to midnight with the majority of programs hosted locally. Regional radio had local announcers, who discussed local events and issues. Post-deregulation, and in the case of the SRN, stations broadcast 24 hours per day, with the majority of programs hosted outside the local area with an average of 6 hours of locally hosted programs, Monday to Friday. This situation occurs in most licence areas. Preliminary research indicates that there is a divergent view on the issues of "local" and "networking" between management and on-air personnel

The effect of centralisation on regional radio: a case study of the super radio network in Northern New South Wales and South East Queensland

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)This research presents a case study of the Super Radio Network, the largest regional radio network in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Since the 1920s when radio, as a broadcast medium, was introduced to Australia the industry was highly regulated. This regulation extended to licensing, ownership limits, foreign investment and content. However, in 1992 the Keating Labor government further deregulated the radio industry through the <i>Broadcasting Services Act 1992</i> giving licensees more freedom by removing ownership limits. Deregulation was meant to create a more diverse and localised radio industry. However, from 1992 onward, there has been an increase in the number of radio stations networking their programmes to regional Australia resulting in a perceived loss of local content and locally hosted programmes. This research examines the development of networking and the provision of local content and diversity in those networked environments. It examines, through interviews with radio practitioners, in particular programme-makers and managers within the Super Radio Network, how the role of radio practitioners as choice making agents work within the structures of legislation and radio formats to develop programme content for a local audience within a radio station’s licence area. Underlying this research is the focal theory of structuration developed by Anthony Giddens. The features of social systems and social production can be explained, according to Giddens, through the theory of structuration, specifically the notion of the duality of structure, which proposes that social systems, such as radio networks, exist through structural properties that consist of rules and resources that are both allocative (available material such as technology) and authoritative (non-material or human) and expressing the ‘mutual dependence’ of structure and agency. Interviews with radio practitioners show how these agents work within the structures in which the radio industry operates and the analysis shows how programme content is compiled and whether it relates to the local licence area. This analysis considers whether regulating local content and having locally hosted programmes adds to the localness of regional radio. Finally, as the thesis will demonstrate there is some confusion over the term ‘local’ and this confusion occurs not only in its use by programme-makers but also in its lack of definitional precision in broadcasting legislation and government policy statements. This results in problems for both the network operators and the communities they service. This research directly interrogates the question of what constitutes the local and localism by putting forward a definition of these terms to reflect the nature of regional radio as it competes with a burgeoning and fluid set of industry structures that streams audio content over the Internet

L' arte povera dans les années 60 (origines et émergence dans le monde de l'art)

Ce travail présente les origines des artistes italiens (Anselmo, Boetti, Calzolari, Fabro, Gilardi, Merz, Paolini, Pascali, Piacentino, Pistoletto, Penone, Zorio) et grec (Kounellis) dont les oeuvres ont été réunies par Germano Celant sous la dénomination arte povera en 1967. La première partie traite de la gestation de l'arte povera (de 1960 à 1964) ; elle confronte les oeuvres de la première vague d'artistes et celles de leurs aînés comme Burri, De Chirico, Fontana, Manzoni et Pollock. La deuxième partie, consacrée à la cristallisation, traite des interactions et des problématiques communes à l'ensemble des artistes de l'arte povera. Leurs oeuvres, réalisées au cours de trois saisons artistiques de 1965 à 1968, manifestent à la fois des liens avec la tradition italienne et une rupture avec les codes et les conventions artistiques. Ces artistes renouent avec une tradition artistique qui remonte à Léonard de Vinci et même au-delà avec la conception artistique d'Aristote. Il s'agit de concevoir l'art comme branche de la connaissance et comme jonction entre l'intellect et la production, entre le savoir et le savoir-fairePARIS1-BU Pierre Mendès-France (751132102) / SudocSudocFranceF
