Behind every great city lies a story of the voices that shaped it — and Informed Sources: A History of the Melbourne Press Club 1971–2001 chronicles three decades of journalism, camaraderie, and cultural influence at the heart of Australia's media landscape. Written by veteran journalist and celebrated chronicler of Melbourne life, Keith Dunstan, this institutional history traces the evolution of the Melbourne Press Club from its early years through to the turn of the millennium, documenting the personalities, controversies, and milestones that defined one of Australia's most storied professional organisations. Dunstan presents a vivid portrait of the journalists, editors, and media figures who gathered under the Club's banner, capturing the spirit of an era when the press held singular authority over public discourse. Rich in anecdote and grounded in meticulous research, this work is a valuable record not only of a club, but of the broader transformation of Australian journalism across the late twentieth century. Dunstan's signature style — warm, witty, and deeply informed by his own decades in the industry — gives the narrative an insider's intimacy that no outside observer could replicate. For anyone with a passion for Australian media history, the culture of journalism, or the social fabric of Melbourne itself, this is an indispensable and quietly revelatory read.
