James W. Carey's recent death provides an occasion to trace the reception and reworking of some of his ideas in Australia. A significant scholar, Carey made contributions to communication, cultural, media and journalism studies. Carey's work can be tackled in a number of ways, and this essay reflects upon his contribution to these fields, with a special focus on the Australian context. The essay approaches Carey's work thematically, through notions of ‘culture and communication’ and ‘journalism’, and purposefully tries to draw links between the two.
