      abstract = {Larrikins, Rebels, and Journalistic Freedom is a cultural  history of Australian journalism. In a democratic nation  where a free news media is not guaranteed, Australian  journalism has inherited what could be described as a  Larrikin tradition to protect its independence. This book  mines Australian journalisms rebelliousness, humor and  distinct disrespect for authority in various  socio-historical contexts, to explore its determination to  maintain professional independence. Beginning with a  Larrikin analysis of Australian journalisms inherited  Enlightenment tradition, Dr Josie Vine takes the reader  through the Colonial eras hardships, Federation, two World  Wars, the Cold Wars fear and suspicion, the swinging  sixties, a Prime Ministers dismissal, 1980s neo-liberalism,  post-9/11 and, finally, provides a conclusive synthesis of  current Australian journalism culture. Throughout, the book  highlights the audacious, iconoclastic and determined  figure of the Larrikin-journalist, forever pushing  boundaries to protect democracys cornerstone freedom of the  news media. Dr Josie Vine is Senior Lecturer in the School  of Media and Communication at RMIT University, Melbourne,  Australia. Her research interests revolve around the  cultural history of Australian journalism, and the  development of professional ideologies and ethical  sensibilities. Her current project is a comparative  analysis of the cultural functions of newsrooms in  Australia and the UK.},
