This commemorative volume traces the evolution of Australia's largest press clipping and broadcast monitoring service, from its humble origins at the dawn of the twentieth century through to the digital age, mapping the sweeping changes in how information is gathered, distributed, and consumed across the nation. Edited with precision and authority by Peter Allen, the book presents a rich tapestry of corporate history interwoven with the broader narrative of Australian media, journalism, and public life over one hundred transformative years.\n\nMore than a company history, this volume stands as a primary document of Australian cultural and communications history, illustrating how the media landscape shifted from broadsheet clippings to broadcast surveillance across a century of war, politics, and technological revolution. Allen brings together voices and archival records that illuminate the vital — yet often unseen — role that media monitoring has played in shaping how governments, businesses, and individuals understand their world. A compelling read for historians, media professionals, and anyone curious about the machinery behind the headlines, this centenary record leaves one wondering: in an age of information overload, who is watching the watchers now?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161031352539,"sku":"2026200011289-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5ca2beb7-6241-42b0-a8ef-adf9d313c962.png?v=1787189447","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011289-secondhand-media-monitors-australia-1904-2004","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
