I was approached last year to write about newsagents for A Companion to the Australian Media being curated by Professor Bridget Griffen-Foley Director, Centre for Media History, Faculty of Arts, Macquarie University. It is to be published in 2013. I am thrilled that newsagents are to be represented in this word tome ands to have been invited as one of 200 or so contributors.
My submission has been lodged . I have tried to represent the history, challenges, opportunities and unique qualities of the Australian newsagent.
