Journalist and author Catherine Hanger spotlights Australia's most powerful media women, who tell us in their own voice about their lives - especially about how they perceive the impact of their careers on themselves and their milieu. From the middle of last century up to the present day, Switched On looks at the changing face of media in this country and how it has evolved through the unique roles women have played in shaping the way we read newspapers, buy magazines, watch television, listen to the radio, buy goods based on advertising campaigns.
