Abstract
This paper analyses Australia's media system and the factors that have influenced its development including the impact of overseas models and Government regulation. It then focuses on international news and addresses the question what factors determine the pattern of international news coverage in the Australian media? it reports on a research project which analyses the relative prominence of various countries and regions in Australian international news as well as the differing 'topic profiles' of news from different regions. Comparisons are made with British data and earlier Australian studies.
