The book provides the reader with an authoritative narrative as to how the ABC has lost its iconic status in Australian society, and unfolds how the ABC has strayed from its respected public charter which endowed the ABC with a distinctive and important role in informing, educating and entertaining the Australian public. Successive federal government funding cuts have shrunk staffing levels and services while it has pursued a corporatist model that mimics the trappings and practices of commercial media. In that process it has become politicised and trivialised, thereby threatening its demise. The book is a unique and timely contribution at a time of dwindling interest for the funding of public assets everywhere. There is no other book in the market that addresses the decline of the organisation (the ABC) and analyses the reasons for its demise within an organisational theoretical framework. The book is written for an educated general audience, with academics and media practitioners specifically in mind, and has everyday applications for business organisations operating in the public sector by bringing together important findings of public funding, budgets, management and organisational strategies and evolution. 001439957 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001439957 61020 $$aAustralian Broadcasting Corporation. 001439957 650_0 $$aMass media$$zAustralia$$xHistory. 001439957 650_6 $$aMédias$$zAustralie$$xHistoire. 001439957 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001439957 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001439957 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSMALL, VIRGINIA.$$tSTRANGLING AUNTY.$$d[S.l.] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2021$$z9811607753$$w(OCoLC)1235469829 001439957 852__ $$bebk 001439957 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-16-0776-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001439957 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1439957$$pGLOBAL_SET 001439957 980__ $$aBIB 001439957 980__ $$aEBOOK 001439957 982__ $$aEbook 001439957 983__ $$aOnline 001439957 994__ $$a92$$bISE
