Making Culture provides an in-depth discussion of Australia's
relationship between the building of national cultural identity -
or 'nationing' - and the country's cultural production and
consumption. With the 1994 national cultural policy Creative Nation
as a starting point for many of the essays included in this
collection, the book investigates transformations within
Australia's various cultural fields, exploring the implications of
nationing and the gradual movement away from it. Underlying these
analyses are the key questions and contradictions confronting any
modern nation-state that seeks to develop and defend a national
culture while embracing the transnational and the global. Including
topics such as publishing, sport, music, tourism, art, Indigeneity,
television, heritage and the influence of digital technology and
output, Making Culture is an essential volume for students and
scholars within Australian and Cultural studies.
Live broadband streaming of the 2008 Beijing Olympics accounted for
2,200 of the estimated 3,600 total hours shown by the American
NBC-Universal networks. At the 2012 London Olympics, unprecedented
multi-platforming embraced online, mobile devices, game consoles
and broadcast television, with the BBC providing 2,500 hours of
live coverage, including every competitive event, much in high
definition and some in 3D. The BBC also had 12 million requests for
video on mobile phones and 9.2 million browsers on its mobile
Olympics website and app. This pattern will only intensify at
future sport mega events like the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016
Summer Olympics, both of which will take place in Brazil.
Increasingly, when people talk of the screen that delivers footage
of their favorite professional sport, they are describing desktop,
laptop, and tablet computer screens as well as television and
mobile handsets. Digital Media Sport analyzes the intersecting
issues of technological change, market power, and cultural
practices that shape the contemporary global sports media
landscape. The complexity of these related issues demands an
interdisciplinary approach that is adopted here in a series of
thematically-organized essays by international scholars working in
media studies, Internet studies, sociology, cultural studies, and
sport studies. .
Television is no longer the only screen delivering footage and news
to people about sport. Computers, the Internet, Web, mobile and
other digital media are increasingly important technologies in the
production and consumption of sports media. Sport Beyond Television
analyzes the changes that have given rise to this situation,
combining theoretical insights with original evidence collected
through extensive research and interviews with people working in
the media and sport industries. It locates sports media as a
pivotal component in online content economies and cultures, and
counteracts the scant scholarly attention to sports media when
compared to music, film and publishing in convergent media
cultures. An expanding array of popular sports media - industry,
user, club, athlete and fan produced - is now available and
accessible in networked digital communications environments. This
change is confounding the thinking of major sports organizations
that have lived off the generous revenue flowing from exclusive
broadcast contracts with free-to-air and subscription television
networks for the last five decades. These developments are creating
commercial and policy confusion, particularly as sports audiences
and the advertising market fragment in line with the proliferation
of niche channels and sources of digital sports media. Chapters in
this title examine the shift from broadcast to online sports media
markets, the impact of social networking platforms like Twitter and
Facebook, evolving user and fan practices, the changing character
of sports journalism, and the rise of sports computer gaming. Each
chapter traces the socio-cultural implications of trends and
trajectories in media sport.

This book examines the political debates over the access to live
telecasts of sport in the digital broadcasting era. It outlines the
broad theoretical debates, political positions and policy
calculations over the provision of live, free-to-air telecasts of
sport as a right of cultural citizenship. In so doing, the book
provides a number of comparative case studies that explore these
debates and issues in various global spaces.
This volume charts the debates over the provision of free-to-air
telecasts of sport as a right of cultural citizenship, analyzing
the complex economic, political, and sociological questions
surrounding the increasingly tenuous ability of public broadcasters
to compete for the broadcasting rights to the most popular and
desirable sports and sporting events. Through comparative case
studies, the contributors to this edited volume explore these
issues in various locales across the globe.
Ford cars can be found all over the world, and vintage models
appear at most classic car shows. This book helps to identify the
models sold by Ford of Britain, and provides detailed information
on each model, with technical specifications, original colour
photographs, and lists the colour schemes that were available.
Continuing this popular series covering classic British cars, David
Rowe now turns his keen eye to the British Ford models. He is well
placed to do so, having worked at two Ford dealerships over a
30-year period and has driven many of the models covered by this
book.
The Rootes Group, although only achieving a 10-12 per cent market
share, were the sixth largest British car manufacturer: more
importantly, during the 1950s, more than half the cars they
produced were exported. With every model produced from 1950 onwards
featured in full colour and with detailed information - including
colour schemes, optional equipment, technical specifications, plus
other manufacturers' cars built using Rootes components - this is
the ultimate book for all Hillman, Humber, Singer and Sunbeam
enthusiasts. Cars produced by Chrysler/Talbot and Peugeot after
their acquisition of the Rootes Group are also included. This book
includes hundreds of original photographs, taken by the author at
many car shows over a number of years, and provides a unique
pictorial history of Rootes-manufactured cars.
Austin cars continued in production long after the other marques
that formed BMC were discontinued, with only the MG name that was
applied to some Rover models lasting beyond 2000. Illustrated in
full colour and with detailed information including colour schemes,
optional equipment and technical specifications, this book provides
a complete catalogue of the cars from 1948 onwards, including the
Austin models built by the Rover group during the 1990s. This is
the ultimate book for those interested in the Austin marque, which
is so often only covered briefly in other publications.

this absorbing collection offers the reader an insight into the
life of many Flintshire pubs past and present, and highlights some
of the changes that have taken place during the last century.
