1 The Travel Writer as Foreign Correspondent : Frank Clune and the ABC John Tebbutt , 2010 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of Australian Studies , March vol. 34 no. 1 2010; (p. 95-107)
'This article charts the early stages of the Australian Broadcasting Commission's engagement with reporting from Asia. It argues that, in the absence of regular reports from foreign correspondents, something that did not start to occur until the late 1950s, the ABC took reports from an enterprising travel writer, Frank Clune. While Clune's 'on-the-spot' reports were presented as scripts once he returned and his reportage was compromised by the commercial arrangements he undertook as part of his 'assignments', he nonetheless established an audience for international reportage on the ABC. Clune's popular style and commercial aspirations eventually led to an end to his ABC broadcasts. However, the tensions that arose tell us as much about the development of the ABC's cultural mission as they do about Frank Clune's enterprise. (p. 95)
1 Frank Clune Modernity and Popular National History John Tebbutt , 1997 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Journal of Communication , vol. 24 no. 3 1997; (p. 53-64)
'Following WWII, Australians were buying more local literature than ever belore. Frank Clune, as one of the country's most popular authors, had on important role in developing a particular sense of national identity. He constructed a mythic popular history through his travels in Australia as well as in Asia and Europe. While an object of little study now, Clune, along with his partner, the literary intellectual PR. Stephensen, was of the first media personalities to come to terms with the need to create a national market for popular cultural products. As such, he played an important and distinctive role in Australia's communication history' (Author's abstract).
