The first issue of Media Information Australia was published in July 1976 and this and the following five issues were published on a volunteer basis—largely by Henry Mayer—and with the support of the Australian Film and Television School and the Australian Film Commission. From Issue No 7 (February 1978) the journal was formally published by the Media
Information Research Exchange, in association with the Australian Film and Television School.

Former editor Helen Wilson writes:

The first few issues were effectively thick newsletters, so devoted was Henry [Mayer] to gathering and categorising relevant information and resources. Now they look more like an annotated Google search than a journal, with early categories established of Research in Progress, Books and Media Briefs. The first section consisted of an assortment of items of various lengths and authorship which were later to evolve into the article format, including various survey reports, production reports, news from the bureaucracies and CAEs, where new media and communication courses were beginning.
