Zusammenfassung:For over fifty years, Australia has maintained its own rock press -- a vibrant, passionate, sometimes volatile industry of dozens of papers and magazines committed to the coverage of the country's robust music scene. From the glossy and glamorous to the punk and pernicious, these publications were the medium that brought Australian music culture to international attention and launched the careers of countless musicians, as well as writers, editors, publishers and photographers. Drawing on comprehensive research and scores of interviews with key figures, journalist Samuel J. Fell captures the vibrancy of music journalism in Australia with colourful anecdotes and rollicking stories. 'Full Coverage' is the tale of how the Australian rock press was born, grew and evolved to become an integral part of Australian culture. --Back cover
