  • ISBN : 1743587511
  • Pages : 524 pages

Download or read book Media Unmade written by Tim Burrowes and published by Hardie Grant Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Media Unmade presents the definitive story of the decade in which big media in Australia was cut down to size – a decade that forever altered what had until then been perceived as the unbreachable foundations of the industry in this country. Drawing on insights from his ringside seat, independent journalist, commentator and Mumbrella founder Tim Burrowes knits together the big events and conversations with key players then and now to reveal the drama and tell the stories behind the changes that every consumer of Australian media has witnessed over the past decade. In this unprecedented account, Tim considers how the newspaper rivers of gold evaporated, TV viewers turned to Netflix, and radio listeners started streaming instead. He covers how networks went broke, the ABC came under sustained attack, and how News Corporation's phone hacking drama in the UK delivered Rupert Murdoch to the most humble day of his life. Of course there is no drama without people and as much as Media Unmade is the tale of the fluctuating fortunes of some of the country's best-known companies, it also presents the compelling stories of the powerful personalities who have shaped them – from the Murdochs, to Antony Catalano and Greg Hywood, to Kim Williams and James Packer, Gina Rinehart, Alan Jones, Michelle Guthrie, Justin Milne and Kerry Stokes. Against the existential threat embodied by Google and Facebook, Australia's media companies remade their broken business models and plotted takeovers in a battle for survival. And just when the worst seemed to be over, COVID-19 delivered the biggest advertising recession of all time, pushing every media company to the brink.

Book The Merman and the Poppy Sprite

Download or read book The Merman and the Poppy Sprite written by Jana Stržinar and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-26 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jana Stržinar's fairy tale is written with the clear goal: she would like to tell the children that the word's future is in their hands. The author does not hide the educational value of her story but rather try to explain it in a way it is understandable to children: the question of ecology are not just a question of material pollution but rather the ethical relationship toward each and every being and thing. This relationship includes - lets we forget - imagination and daydreaming, those human notions without which we would lose our depth. The foundation of the book poetics is a deep-rooted belief in the holy nature of the world, where every living thing has its own place and meaning. Since it is more and more obvious that the human will not be redeem from his or her nihilistic handling of the world with development of the technology, the ecological motivation of the author's fairytale heroes are even more important. Therefore I recommend the picture book to all, who would return some of rainbow hope to our havens and earth. /Milan Dekleva/

[It] is easily readable' - Journal of Child and Adolescent Mental Health `Therapeutic Work With Sexually Abused Children locates the practice experience of the authors within a rigorous theoretical framework and is a readable and useable guide to the complexities of helping children and adolescents who have suffered the trauma of sexual abuse' - Youth & Policy `It is refreshing to find child therapists ready to engage with sexually abused children by incorporating trauma theory and research, addressing child protection and seeing themselves as part of a team that includes the carers. The authors provide an overview of phases of treatment, theoretical considerations and essential skills. They emphasize the importance of relationship and explore its impact on the therapist. Their approach is creative and child-centered. Case vignettes, poems and exercises promote empathy with the child's perspective. There is a useful chapter on cultural issues and the needs of children in alternative care... this is an excellent primer for the child's helping network' - Community Care `This is an excellent book for workers seeking to respond more effectively to child victims of abuse' - David Pearson, Caring Magazine Therapeutic Work with Sexually Abused Children is a creative and practical guide for professionals working directly with those who have suffered sexual abuse and for their carers. The trauma of sexual abuse experienced in childhood can be severe and enduring. Therapeutic support is offered to help both the child and the family cope with psychological or emotional difficulties both currently and in later life. Therapists must be able to respond effectively to the child victim in a sensitive and timely way which prioritizes the needs of each child. Drawing on their experience as practitioners, the authors explore the reactions which children commonly experience following abuse and examine the tasks of the therapist in responding to them. This book explores the counselling of children who have been abused rather than adult survivors of child abuse. The book will benefit from the combined experiences of one US author and one UK author.
