Investigating the future of Australian television

这个项目调查了澳大利亚电视的未来和它所服务的社会。对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，无论是固定的还是移动的。这给澳大利亚的经济、政治和文化带来了深刻的变化。然而，政府和工业界显然缺乏独立的研究来帮助他们为变革做计划。而且，几乎没有关于这些关键变化的谨慎公开辩论的背景。该项目将在促进所有受众的知识和知情的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.
