Abstract This project explores the attitudes of universities and media organisations towards journalism curriculum renewal. In part, the project is inspired by an apparent schism that exists between some journalists and editors on the one hand, and journalism academics on the other regarding the role of journalism training and education, specifically, where it should most appropriately be taught – in-house, that is by the media organisation, within a university environment, or elsewhere. This project provides the first comprehensive analysis of the journalism education sector in Australia to consider the question of curriculum renewal and the relationship between universities and industry on a national scale. The timing of this project was fortuitous, given the impact of technological innovation and economic restructures on journalism worldwide and the consequent impact of these changes on the following questions: (1) What is a journalist? (2) What skills are required to become a journalist? (3) How can those skills be acquired or developed? This project addresses these questions and begins the development of a shared language of curriculum renewal in the journalism education sector and between industry and the sector. In conducting this study, the researchers conducted a series of interviews with senior journalists, editors and industry trainers, as well as with Journalism educators. The urs vey questions are included in Appendix A. Ethics clearance for the project was obtained through the University of Wollongong (see Appendix B).

In part, the project is inspired by an apparent schism that exists between some journalists and editors on the one hand, and journalism academics on the other regarding the role of journalism training and education, specifically, where it should most appropriately be taught – in-house, that is by the media organisation, within a university environment, or elsewhere. This project provides the first comprehensive analysis of the journalism education sector in Australia to consider the question of curriculum renewal and the relationship between universities and industry on a national scale. The timing of this project was fortuitous, given the impact of technological innovation and economic restructures on journalism worldwide and the consequent impact of these changes on the following questions: (1) What is a journalist? (2) What skills are required to become a journalist? (3) How can those skills be acquired or developed? This project addresses these questions and begins the development of a shared language of curriculum renewal in the journalism education sector and between industry and the sector. In conducting this study, the researchers conducted a series of interviews with senior journalists, editors and industry trainers, as well as with Journalism educators. The survey questions are included in Appendix A. Ethics clearance for the project was obtained through the University of Wollongong (see Appendix B). The project’s findings can be summarised as follows: 1: Interviewees (both industry and academic) agreed that there was a key role for universities in providing both an educational background and skills-based training for people contemplating a career in Journalism and early career journalists. 2: Not surprisingly – given the debate that provoked this study - there was some disagreement, both between industry and academe and within the two sectors, as to what the ideal university-based Journalism program should consist of. In part this discussion boiled down to a debate about whether university-based degrees should be generalist in nature, or journalistic; theory-oriented or practical in nature? 3: The difficulty

  • Conceptions and Construction of Contemporary Australian Bachelor of Arts Programs
    Conceptions and Construction of Contemporary Australian Bachelor of Arts Programs Deanne Gannaway BA Grad Dip Ed (Wits), MEd (USQ) Student ID: 2049303 School of Education Faculty of Education, Humanities and Law Flinders University Date of Submission: March 2015 Supervisors: Professor Janice Orrell (Flinders), Professor Fred D’Agostino (UQ) and Professor Faith Trent (Flinders) ABSTRACT The Bachelor of Arts (BA) is the oldest and largest undergraduate degree program in Australia, graduating thousands of students since 1856. Yet contemporary Australian BA programs are under pressure. Deans of Humanities, Arts and Social Science faculties report challenges in articulating the contribution that BA programs make to the preparation of a workforce suited for a knowledge economy. They describe declining enrolments in the BA and increasing attrition rates. They also note a systemic absence of reliable data required to judge the capacity of Arts programs to support and respond to national strategic ambitions. This study maps and deconstructs planned curricula of BA programs offered in Australian universities between 2007 and 2011. The study draws on comparative historical analyses techniques supplemented with data collected and analysed using focused ethnography methods. This approach enabled a sector-wide scan and analysis of Arts programs at all 39 Australian universities, supplemented by a detailed, focused study of curriculum and processes at three institutions. Publicity materials, official curriculum documentation and personal perspectives were collected and analysed in an iterative manner across five stages of analysis using a framework of common curricula elements: purpose, content and sequencing. As a result of the changing context, programs are increasingly pressured to meet the needs of a knowledge economy.

  • Seven West Media Welcomes ACCC Approval of Sale of Pacific Magazines to Bauer Media
    Thursday, 26 March 2020 Seven West Media welcomes ACCC approval of sale of Pacific Magazines to Bauer Media Seven West Media (ASX: SWM) Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, James Warburton, today welcomed the decision by the ACCC to approve the sale of Pacific Magazines to Bauer Media. Commenting on the decision, Mr Warburton said: “We welcome today’s regulatory approval of the sale of Pacific Magazines to Bauer Media. This transaction provides $40 million in cash consideration (pre-adjustments and leave provisions). Additionally, the $6.6 million of advertising we are receiving from Bauer over three years further enhances the value of the sale, allowing the titles to continue to reach the valuable audiences SWM commands. “Pacific Magazines has always been an important part of Seven West Media and will leave a lasting legacy, and I want to personally thanK the hard worKing and dedicated team who have worKed tirelessly to transform the business in response to changing marKet conditions. These efforts mean that Pacific’s assets will have a bright future as part of a larger group with Bauer, and SWM will maintain a relationship through the successful television show Better Homes and Gardens.” It is anticipated that completion of the sale of Pacific Magazines to Bauer Media will take place on April 9, 2020.

  • ACCC Statement of Issues Regarding Sale of Pacific Magazines to Bauer Media
    Thursday, 19 December 2019 ACCC Statement of Issues regarding sale of Pacific Magazines to Bauer Media The ACCC has released a Statement of Issues today expressing concerns about some limited aspects of the proposed sale of Pacific Magazines to Bauer Media, specifically common ownership of New Idea and Woman's Day, and common ownership of That's Life and Take 5. Seven West Media (ASX: SWM) believes that the ACCC has taken an overly narrow view of the competitive dynamics and constraints at play for magazine publishers and has not properly taken into account the competitive constraints faced by magazine publishers from digital and social media platforms. James Warburton, SWM Managing Director and CEO, said: “Advertising spend on consumer magazines represents only 2% of total advertising spend in Australia, whereas internet advertising spend accounts for more than 46% of total advertising spend in Australia.1 “At a time when the ACCC itself is looking at the impact of digital platforms on traditional media businesses and in the face of proposed Government reforms to redress the imbalance between traditional media businesses and the dominant digital platforms, the concerns that have been expressed seem misplaced. “The transaction represents an opportunity to provide a stronger base for these titles to compete into the future against digital platforms.” SWM will continue to engage with the ACCC as its process continues.

    To access the videos in the exercises, please enter the password abj2013 Chapter 1: Radio in Australia The radio services that we have in Australia are very much a product of their early- twentieth-century origins. As you will have read in Chapter 1 of Australian Broadcast Journalism, the three sectors we have today—commercial, community and public broadcasting—each have a distinct style and brief in relation to how they try to appeal to their audiences. You can hear this just by tuning into different stations and listening for yourself. Exercise 1: Listening to a range of programs The best way to learn about radio is to be a listener! Record a commercial program, a community program and an ABC program. 1 Compare their content and presentation styles. 2 What do the programs tell you about their respective audiences? 3 How do they reflect their respective briefs as commercial, community and public broadcasting services? Exercise 2: Podcasting Far from being dead, radio offers a wealth of creative opportunities in the digital age. In September 2013, Radio National’s Common Knowledge program aired a conversation with two innovators in the area of podcasting as part of a ‘radio beyond radio’ conference. Presenters Cassie McCullagh and Jason Di Rosso talked with Silvain Gire, Director and co-founder of Arte Radio, and Francesca Panetta, Special Projects Editor at The Guardian and creator of The Hackney Podcast.
