Welcome to our 2019 issue of the Global Media Journal-Australian Edition. We are in our 12th year of publication having initiated our work in 2007. In this edition, we publish a selection of papers from the annual Interventions and Intersections postgraduate conference of Western Sydney University’s School of Humanities and Communication Arts. In the past we have published papers from this conference – Volume 4, Issue 2: 2010 and Volume 10, Issue 1: 2016. The conference itself has also stood the test of time and is now in its 11th year in 2019. We have a strong commitment to emerging scholarship in our desire that the journal feature young academics in their early stages of research. As always, the work of the journal depends on the generosity of reviewers and the largely volunteer work of academics. I thank the guest editors of this issue, James Gourley and Myra Gurney. Also, thanks to Antonio Castillo Rojas for his editorial assistance with copy and book reviews. Thanks to Tim Dwyer for another chapter of Australia Media Monitor and to our webmaster extraordinaire, Roman Goik. Thanks to all!
