Authorship and the Documentary
Edited by Maree Delofski & Virginia Madsen
This issue of SCAN canvasses the notion of authorship with reference to contemporary documentary forms across radio, film and television. Over the past decade there has been much talk of a ‘renaissance’ in radio documentary, while image-based documentary is expanding on television and finding new forms on the internet. At the same time, the idea of formal authorship has never had less currency in the industry, and documentary makers, as with other producers, whether for television or radio, find themselves referred to by broadcasters (both public and private) simply as ‘content providers’. Indeed, the ‘authorship’ of any single broadcast work appears to be claimed by the corporate entity while the makers are ‘disappeared’ behind the on-air promotion of the program itself.
A magazine of media arts essays, reviews and other pieces.
