Editor's Remarks: Radio Downunder - New Zealand,
Australia, and Radio's Diversity
This issue of the Journal of Radio & Audio Media features the sympo-
sium, Radio Downunder radio research with a focus on New Zealand
and Australia edited by Rufus McEwan and Matt Mollgaard (McEwan &
Mollgaard, 2021). The two countries' radio broadcasting encompasses
dual networks, major deregulation, community radio, language, and
other considerations. In Comparing Australian, British, Canadian, and
U.S. Broadcasting: The 1934 Radio Reports Compiled by Australian
Broadcasting  Commissioner E.M.R. Couchman Michael Socolow
employs an    historical approach  with  his research   about May
Couchman's archival records about her travels through the United
States, Canada, and finally to England. Socolow underscores that her
role was not only omitted from history but also ignored by contempor-
aries. He explains that her recommendations that A.B.C. pursue pro-
grams about 'Aborigines or Half Castes' in 1933 as well as her report
on ABC management were ignored (Socolow, 2021, p. 101). An addi-

Deregulation, Rufus McEwan and Matt Mollgaard conclude thirty
years after deregulation and responding to The Great New Zealand
Radio Experiment that commercial radio can thrive if through solid
branding, multiplatform distribution, and a clear value proposition to
both audiences and advertisers it can find an equilibrium that maximizes
both 'Dollars and Listeners' (McEwan & Mollgaard, 2021, p. 177).
Australian and New Zealand broadcasting to the Pacific is an ongoing
balancing act of culture and audiences. International Broadcasting
Downunder: A Content Analysis of Organizational Submissions to the
Review of Australian Broadcasting Services in the Asia Pacific by
Andrew M. Clark investigates using a content analysis of organizational
submissions to the Review of Australian Broadcasting Services in the
Asia Pacific, which   allows for a study of Radio New       Zealand
International and Radio Australia's efforts to reach audiences throughout
the Pacific region (Clark, 2021). Clark concludes, The battle for the
hearts and minds of audiences throughout the region is not lessening, if
