Dead Famous, a Ben Elton novel is really good. It follows Frontline, cause it's about tv in a way, and it's a good read to, not like most of the stuff we've got!

Mediawartch on ABC is really good for truth...you can also try the website for transcripts.....so are a couple of other programs on SBS and ABC

Anything topical is good, so read the newspapers daily and you will find plenty of articles you can use as related texts. eg, i had stuff on iraqi war talking bout how truth is portrayed in wars, and then there was other good ones on bulldogs rape scandal, and also on Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.

apparently my teacher said u can use (if u can still find them somewhere) articles on what happened with the Australian olympic rower, and why she stopped, whether the team really did make up or whatever. i dunno, could be boring though.

Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" is one of the texts I used. That and the lyrics for the song cycle 'The Hunting of the Snark", by Martin Wesley-Smith (Based on Lewic Carrol's works)
