  • The Rise and Fall of Edmund Rouse 53
    The rise and fall of Edmund Rouse 53 The rise and fall of Edmund Rouse Stephen Tanner In 1989 Tasmanian media magnate Edmund Rouse at- tempted to bribe a newly elected ALP member of par- liament to support the minority government of then Liberal Premier Robin Gray. Rouse’s naive and badly planned attempt not only had ramifications for democ- racy, but ultimately also for control of Tasmania’s ma- jor media company, ENT Ltd. The last scenes in that drama were played out recently when ownership of ENT Ltd, the company Rouse had previously con- trolled, passed to Bermuda-based media owner Bruce Gordon. This paper looks at the emergence of ENT Ltd as the major player in the Tasmanian media market un- der Rouse’s stewardship, at his attempts to shore up the company’s corporate interests through the bribery attempt, and at the consequences thereof, namely the dismantling of the state’s largest media empire. OR many years ENT Ltd was the dominant player in Tasmanian media, with considerable interests in newspa- Fpers, television and radio. It has also owned or held inter- ests in a number of non-media assets, and during the 1980s was regarded as Tasmania’s largest non-resource group, with a mar- ket capitalisation of around $120 million (Business Review Weekly 1989, p.160). From 1951 until 1993 the company’s fortunes were closely linked with those of its flamboyant former chairman and manag- ing director, Edmund Rouse. Rouse became involved in the com- 54 Australian Studies in Journalism pany after marrying Dorothy Rolph, daughter of the company’s then managing director, Sir Gordon Rolph.

  • Professional Placement
    Conference 2002: Professional Placement Professional Placement – A Tasmanian Experience by Nicola Goc, a journalism lecturer at the University of Tasmania A recent study by Dr Miriam Weisz at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University in Melbourne, found that graduates, employers and governments benefit from university courses that have a compulsory work component (1). The study compared the employment and academic outcomes of students in three groups: cooperative-education graduates who had studied economics and finance at RMIT, graduates with similar degrees from other universities who had worked over summer as part of their course, and those with similar degrees who had no work experience related to their course. Dr Weisz found that students benefited from cooperative education in several ways, including improved results and better employment outcomes.” Ninety per cent were working within a month of looking for a job (with 60 per cent remaining with their employers), compared with 54% of those who had worked over summer, and only 19% of those without relevant work experience. There is a correlation between Dr Weisz’s study with RMIT economics and finance students and University of Tasmania journalism placement students. The employment outcome for those journalism students who have undertaken the Professional Placement Unit has been better significantly better than those graduates who did not. This paper will examine this outcome and examine the unique Tasmanian experience offered by the Professional Placement Unit. The Journalism Professional Placement Unit is now a third-year unit offered as part of the Journalism and Media Studies Major. The aim of the unit is to place students in the workplace for a specified period of time (10 full days) to work as trainee journalists and to be involved in the day-to-day production of news or public relations.
