Remembering Public Service Broadcasting

Liberty and Security in Early ABC Online Interactive Sites

Maureen Burns

University of Queensland, Australia

In the late nineties the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) website, ABC Online, was very successful at a time when the ABC experienced severe political hostility and funding reductions. This paper offers case studies of the early implementation of interactive online sites at the ABC to explore an alternative remembering of the ABC. Using the success of ABC Online as a model of how to remember the ABC, one might choose to remember the ABC as dispersed and plural, even rhizomic. Rather than being nostalgic for a unified past or future, we might instead be nostalgic for the diversity, plurality and in-between nature of ABC practices and programming.

Key Words: new media • public service broadcasting • Australian Broadcasting Corporation • online interactive sites
