Townsville City Council
Role

Chief Investigator

Description

We are seeking funding from the T150 scheme for our research time and the putting on of an exhibition at the Museum of Tropical Queensland. We have support in kind from James Cook University, the Museum of Tropical Queensland, and the Townsville Bulletin. We learn about our community and region partly through the local and community media. In addition history is recorded through the reports of our media. This project will be unique in documenting and drawing together numerous events to reflect on how our local media has shaped our community and identity. The project will complement the work of the T150 Townsville Bulletin projects.
