Investigating the future of Australian television

该项目调查了澳大利亚电视的未来以及它所“服务”的社会。免费电视的监管严格控制了澳大利亚新闻、信息和娱乐的制作和传播。现在，数字技术在许多额外的平台上提供视听内容，固定的和移动的。这给澳大利亚的经济、政治和文化带来了深刻的变化。然而，政府和工业界明显缺乏独立的研究，无法帮助他们规划这些变化。而且几乎没有任何背景可以让公众对这些关键性的变化进行认真的辩论。这一项目将在促进所有服务对象的知识和知情战略决策方面发挥重要作用。

This project investigates the future of Australian television and the society 'served' by it. Regulation of free-to-air TV has tightly controlled the production and dissemination of news, information and entertainment in Australia. Now digital technology offers audio-visual content on many extra platforms, fixed and mobile. This sets up profound changes in Australian economics, politics and culture. Yet there is a marked lack of independent research available to Government and Industry to assist them to plan for the changes. And there is almost no context for careful public debate about these crucial changes. This project will play a vital role in promoting knowledge and informed, strategic decision-making for all constituencies.
