“…Henningham and Delano suggested that a cause in the formation of such attitudes was the constraint that exists on media freedom in the United Kingdom because there is no "First Amendment" legal climate. 18 Different motivations and aspirations. Attitudinal differences between students and experienced journalists may be linked to differences in the motivations and aspirations of these two groups.…”

A longitudinal study of U.K. journalism undergraduates records how their attitudes on societal roles of the news media changed during university education. Students became more likely to endorse an adversarial approach toward public officials and businesses as extremely important. Yet students did not support these roles as strongly as an older generation of U.K. journalists did. Students also became less likely to support the role of giving “ordinary people” a chance to express views. This may indicate a “generation gap” in attitudes that journalism educators need to understand. The authors also are concerned that the U.K. journalism workforce—now including many students from such programs—has become more socially elite.

“…This concern was highlighted in a number of 1990s studies dealing with religious journalism in Australia, where leading print journalists made known their personal concerns. 39 An example is the Today Tonight report ''Scientology Controversy'' (4 February 2010), which featured discussions with a former Scientologist and Senator Xenophon about the practice of ''Fair Game,'' in which L. Ron Hubbard told followers that those who attack Scientology could be ''deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist.'' Such persons could be ''tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.''…”

The role of communications and information media long has been acknowledged as a key factor in religious controversy. Since the 1970s ''cult wars,'' new religions scholars have focused considerable attention on how the media communicate, influence and frame public perception of new religious movements. In this article, I briefly survey ways in which constant changes in communications media and consumption require scholars to reassess interaction between the media and new religious movements. Using as a test-case the Church of Scientology's interaction with Australian ''tabloid television'' programs in a series of heavily publicized controversies, I outline some traditional journalistic practices and media constraints, identified by scholars, in television coverage of Scientology in Australia. I will introduce a series of additional practices and contingent factors dealing specifically with tabloid television which may assist scholars in assessing the complex relationship between the media and new religions.

“…John Henningham's definition of institutions includes both large, formally constituted forms and bodies, but also those less formal, but still influential, customs and practices of culture, similar to Elinor Ostrom's 'rules-in-use' -informal institutions which may shape human behaviour. (Henningham 1995, p.3, Ostrom 2003, Chapter 2). The institutions which emerge as significant at Christie Walk include both formal and informal types.…”

How can institutions contribute to the building of civil society in the twenty-first century? It is clear that the old laissez-faire approach and the more recent neo-conservative reliance on the market have failed to deliver housing for many people. On the other hand the state-based welfare housing model espoused by the Australian Labor Party over the twentieth century has also been beset by problems. Social alienation and the crisis in affordable housing make the case that individualist approaches to urban living are not working. More communal solutions are needed -solutions attuned to a complex view of civil society outlined by Michael Edwards' tripartite definition. At the same time the onset of global warming now prompts Australians to create more environmentally sustainable ways of living. Addressing the theme of responsibility, this paper focuses on citizenship in its broader environmental, social and active forms. It analyses interviews and documentary evidence concerning the planning and development of Christie Walk, an innovative, medium density eco-city development in Adelaide. The investigation reveals the effects of some Australian institutions on residents' efforts to live socially and environmentally sustainable lives in an urban environment. The paper offers transdisciplinary research and analysis, linking the fields of history, urban housing, community development and environmental theory.
