Abstract
There appears to be a growing sensitivity to cartoons’ potential
impact in public debate, and so it is a good time to ask what the role
of cartoons is in Australian politics, policy and media. This
collection brings together cartoonists, media professionals and
researchers all, in their different ways, fascinated by the contribution
cartoons make to our public life. The range of backgrounds of the
contributors has led to a rich range of writing styles and approaches;
as editors, we have not sought to impose a uniform method on the
chapters, but have especially encouraged the cartoonists and media
professionals to write from their experience rather than in an
imitation of academic style.
