“…Dr Jilly Boyce Kay's paper was presented at this workshop and we wish to thank all the participants in that event for their input and engagement with the important themes we canvassed then that led to the idea of this special issue. Several of the papers presented at the workshop have been published as a special issue of Feminist Media Histories on "Transnational Broadcasting" edited by Jeannine, Kate and Dr Kristin Skoog (see Jeannine Baker, Kate Murphy and Kristin Skoog 2019). We wish to thank the all members of the Centre for Media History at Bournemouth, especially Kate, Kristin and Professor Hugh Chignell for their support of research into media history from a transnational perspective.…”

This editorial introduction explains that in conceiving of this special issue, we were particularly interested in how mediated practices intersect with political contexts within a transnational frame. We set out to explore how gender-based social movements are currently circulating via transnational media, and thus afford diverse kinds of interventions in issues of social justice. Each article in this issue starts from a specific location and traces the trajectory of media texts and gendered collective subjects as they both move within and across national boundaries. Differences within specific uses of "transnationality", located within grounded feminist critiques, emerge from reading these cases together. While the articles in the special issue do not deal centrally with the topic of the global COVID-19 pandemic, their critiques of the role of gender in transnational media-in various contexts-all point to the pressing need to think beyond the politically limiting optics of national histories and the boundaries of the nation-state, which we would argue is needed now more than ever.

This article discusses the important role the BBC played in advancing the careers of ABC women in the post-war era. Adopting an integrated, transnational approach, it revisualises the British broadcasting empire from a dominion perspective, a gendered perspective. This research follows ABC television producers as they undertook transformative, transnational excursions and recognises the necessary mobility, flexibility and ingenuity women activated in order to succeed. It identifies how they exploited the imbalanced dominion dynamic and strategically used their BBC experiences to counteract the compromising gender constraints of their local production environments.
