Recent research has demonstrated how comment threads published beneath online news articles are being transformed into fluid interfaces between professional journalists, their work and their audiences. Today''s audience-members are not only able to respond to published narratives but to embellish and, potentially, contest them: by posting comments based on personal knowledge about an issue and even using eyewitness testimony to directly affirm or challenge a story''s details. Though often stylistically "messy," such comment posts go beyond merely manifesting and magnifying news discourses-let alone simply reacting to them. Rather, as on social media, posters can publicly discuss and debate the meaning and significance of stories, with the more informed and assertive among them contributing content so significant that it reshapes the texts themselves. In so doing, such claims-makers and counter claims-makers become hybrids of journalists (news producers), audience-members (news consumers) and claims-makers (news sources). Drawing on the author''s recent empirical findings, this chapter argues that online news has entered a dynamic but disruptive new phase in which journalistic authority may increasingly be contested, as "audience-members" begin to compete with "reporters" for authorship of news narratives.

The Art Gallery of Ballarat is the only art gallery in Australia to hold a cohesive group of icons from the Orthodox Christian tradition. The impetus for this collection arose out of the foresight and generosity of John McCarthy AO. A long-time icon collector, John felt that it was timely for the art of the Eastern Christian world to be properly acknowledged in a nation that has received so many people of the Orthodox tradition. Since he offered a core grouping of high-quality painted icons in late 2016, other donors have come forward and it is to be hoped that this small but very fine collection will be judiciously augmented in future years.

A child crouches beside a meadow brook, and a drop of water collects and falls from the child’s fingertip to continue on its journey. Where does that journey begin? High in the sky, rain clouds are parting. Water trickles and flows down the mountain, collecting in an upland bog, seeping through a beaver’s dam, rushing over rocks, passing many plants and animals along its winding way—each dependent on water and the different environments it shapes to live. Author and illustrator Gordon Morrison has captured a single moment in time, revealing the course and influence of water, and inviting readers to pause and consider the world around them in this beautiful and lyrical appreciation of nature and the resource that makes it all possible—a drop of water.
