Produktbeschreibung

"This book makes a significant contribution to knowledge about media in the Indo-Pacific, a region where trustworthy information is fundamental to securing peace inside and beyond the boundary.

Wake and her fellow authors examine how the many different news ecosystems are facing the challenges brought about by social media, propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation."

-Prof Colleen Murrell, Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland

"Almost every Australian knows about the ABC, and has an opinion about it. Far fewer know much about the ABC's role to broadcast into countries in the Indo-Pacific region.

Wake is an expert in this field who is able to draw on her experience working at the ABC and buttress it with reflection and scholarship. She has brought together a team of leading contributors to explore the urgent need to adequately fund international broadcasting."

-Prof Matthew Ricketson, Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia

Transnational Broadcasting in the Indo-Pacific brings together research spanning journalism, broadcast and political science to interrogate the issues arising from a rapidly changing global political and broadcast environment. This book asks: Why is there increasing interest in the provision of English-language media in the Indo-Pacific from countries like China? What are the implications for the traditional providers of foreign-produced news such as the Australia Broadcasting Corporation and the British Broadcasting Corporation? What now is the role of social media in the creation of broadcast journalism, and why is there panic in diplomatic circles about some of the journalism that originates from broadcasters in China and Russia? The result is a book that offers an insight into a rapidly transforming media landscape, the changing state of international relations, and the rise of new powers.
