Contents

This book grew from a research process that began in 1992. From the start, Sally Treffry provided unfailing support. Hers was the greatest contribution. Rodney Tiffen from the University of Sydney, offered advice, reassurance and professional guidance of the highest order. He shepherded my research and focus drawing from his extensive experience as a media politics analyst. During manuscript editing, Mary Treffry brought valuable skills to the process.

Dozens of people in Asia, Australia and Europe assisted me with research. The grace with which people accepted my questions and requests provided great encouragement. I sincerely thank all those who agreed to be interviewed, exchanged correspondence or arranged access to valuable primary data. These include Richard Andrews, Rachel Attwell, Roger Chapman, Tony Chin, Jim Della-Giacoma, Greg Earl, Greg Ell, John Flannery, Douglas Gautier, Stan Harsha, David Hill, Paul Hodgson, William Hooks, S. K. Ishadi, O. P. Khushu, Virgilio Labrador, Peter Langlois, Patricia Lee, Janet Loh, Malcolm Long, Alan Macdonald, Cindy MacDonald, Michael Maher, Michael Mann, Nick Masters, John Milne, Ranjan Mitchell, Goenawan Mohamad, Jonathan Parapak, Jack Porray, Win Scott, Iain Simpson, Michael Spinelle, Malcolm Smart, Trevor Watson, Ubonrat Siriyuvasak, Adwin Wibisono, Marta Wohrle and Kian Wong. A number of others who similarly assisted requested anonymity.

Those who invited me to contribute to their deliberations on structuring media systems in Southeast Asia provided an opportunity to ground ideas in the reality of contemporary experience. My thanks to Virgilio Labrador, Jamie Mackie, Tessa Piper and Santoso.

Finally I wish to acknowledge the professional dedication of the many journalists and media industry workers in Southeast Asia, whose faith in their vocation has endured. For those working in domestic media services in particular this has often been under the most trying circumstances. It was a privilege to meet and share ideas with some of them during my visits to various cities in Southeast Asia.
