A5项目总结 电视可以说是20世纪最重要的文化技术。它让我们在全球化的世界里有一种国家意识，有助于民主话语，并促进创造性的表达。这是澳大利亚这个重要机构的历史，将涵盖从成立到1992年的一段时间，当时多频道、付费和互联网形式的电视开始改变它。它将主要集中在免费播放的商业电视上，并将促进关于电视在澳大利亚不断变化的意义的辩论，并导致公众更好地理解和欣赏其文化和创意遗产。

A5 PROJECT SUMMARY Television is arguably the most significant cultural technology of the 20th century. It gives us a sense of nationhood within a globalised world, contributes to democratic discourse and fosters creative expression. This is a history of that important institution in Australia and will cover the period from its inception to 1992, when multi-channel, pay and internet forms of television began to transform it. It will focus principally on commercial free to air television and will promote debate about the changing significance of television in Australia and lead to better public understanding and appreciation of its cultural and creative legacy.
