This project aims to take advantage of new digitisation projects to reveal how songs in premodern Europe and later in Australia were used for disseminating news to the public. By analysing ballads across four centuries and five languages, the project expects to show how news-songs not only informed the public but also helped to forge national identities by exploiting the emotive and communal nature of song. Expected outcomes include an innovative digital platform offering licensed recordings of ballads, a public exhibition of song treasures in Australian collections, and a re-written history of the news media industry. Benefits may include new insights into how the modern notion of Australian national identity emerged through song.

该项目旨在利用新的数字化项目来揭示前现代欧洲和后来的澳大利亚的歌曲是如何被用来向公众传播新闻的。通过分析跨越四个世纪和五种语言的民谣，该项目希望展示新闻歌曲如何不仅告知公众，而且通过利用歌曲的情感和公共性质来帮助建立国家身份。预期的结果包括一个创新的数字平台，提供民谣的授权录音，澳大利亚收藏的歌曲珍品的公开展览，以及新闻媒体行业的重写历史。好处可能包括对澳大利亚民族身份的现代概念如何通过歌曲产生的新见解。
