Without the people who offered their time and support, and careful and considered thoughts, this project would not have reached completion. As an early career researcher, working in a time of increasingly insecure employment, this book was not simply self-driven but enabled by a network of collegial and social support. In particular, and in no order of importance, I need to express my thanks to my colleagues in the Media and Communication program at the University of Melbourne, especially to Ingrid Volkmer for her encouragement and support. To my original PhD supervisors, Angela Ndalianis, for her direct and encouraging feedback and Timothy Laurie, for his considered and careful reading. To my friend Helen Hughes, for reading the manuscript and offering helpful and insightful criticisms. To Erin Stapleton, for facilitating a community-building writing group and to everyone who attended for their inspiration and collegiality. And to my friend Tim Coster, for his professional and erudite copy-editing. This project has been enabled by a publishing grant
