Product Overview
Since the late 1970s, Australia has nurtured a creative and resilient children's television production sector with a global reputation for excellence. This book provides a systematic analysis of the creative, economic, regulatory, and technological factors that shape the production of contemporary Australian children's television for digital regimes. Drawing on extended interviews with members of the production and broadcasting sectors, Creativity, Culture & Commerce: Producing Australian Children's Television with Public Value charts the complex new settlements in children's television that developed from 2001–2014. It describes also the challenges inherent in producing culturally specific screen content for global markets, calling for new public debate around the provision of high quality screen content for Australian children.
