Global media studies : ethnographic perspectives - eds Patrick D. Murphy and Marwan M. Kraidy
Global media discourse : a critical introduction - David Machin and Theo van Leeuwen
It is not hard to see that the media are becoming increasingly global. At the same time, new forms of migration have brought more cultural diversity to the major cities of European nation states than they have seen for a long time. Critics of globalisation have argued that globalisation leads to unprecedented standardisation and cultural homogeneity. Theorists, too, have responded by arguing that global media products are not necessarily everywhere ‘read’ in the same way- Engines of influence : newspapers of country Victoria, 1840-1890 - Elizabeth Morrison
A fifty-year history of Victoria's country newspapers, beginning with James Harrison's Geelong Advertiser in 1840 and ending in December 1890 when 166 papers were being published in 122 country towns. This book identifies all press sites and newspapers of the era, whether long-lasting or short-lived, and highlights the major part played by them in helping construct the machinery of government, lay the foundations of party politics and foster a sense of rural Victorian identity 
War and words : the Australian press and the Vietnam War - Trish Payne
Trish Payne's insightful analysis of Australian reporting of the Vietnam War traces the shifts in emphasis of the coverage, the influence of government on the news that reached the public, the extent of our allegiance to the American viewpoint and the lack of a balancing Vietnamese perspective. 'War and Words' presents clearly the influences that shaped the media agenda of the time and identifies patterns of press coverage that continue to be discernable in the reporting of current military conflicts.
