This book explores the relationship between media and social movements. Through an examination of the Australian Aboriginal rights movement and its print media, it charts over ninety years of movement and media interactions. Drawing on interviews with journalists, editors, campaigners and activists, archive materials and news content analysis, Mediating the Movement investigates the convergence of journalism, political science, Aboriginal history and social movement theory, considering the Aboriginal rights movement’s framing, its evolving strategic approach, alliances forged, its leadership and network of individuals and organisations.
