  • Public Interest Journalism Initiative and Judith Neilson Institute
    PUBLIC INTEREST JOURNALISM INITIATIVE and THE JUDITH NEILSON INSTITUTE FOR JOURNALISM AND IDEAS joint submission to the AUSTRALIAN COMPETITION & CONSUMER COMMISSION’S Mandatory news media barGaininG code Concepts paper 5 June 2020 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Following a summer of bushfires, a global pandemic has demonstrated not only the importance of reliable news media - to provide accurate information and to bind communities – but also their vulnerability. The impact on news publishers and broadcasters has been devastating. Less than a year since the ACCC handed down the Final Report of its Digital Platforms Inquiry, more than a hundred news titles have ceased publishing, and hundreds of journalists have lost their jobs. Without intervention, more news businesses will close this year when JobKeeper payments end. Against this backdrop, the task of developing the Mandatory News Media Bargaining Code (Code) to ensure a fair value exchange between news media businesses and Google, Facebook and their subsidiary platforms is urgent and important. By redressing the imbalances identified by the ACCC,1 the Code has the potential to ensure that those who invest in original journalistic content are fairly rewarded by digital platforms that derive significant direct and indirect value from it - and also that there is due recognition of the direct and indirect value that, in turn, news media businesses derive from digital platforms. The timetable is ambitious, with the ACCC and the Government moving quickly. However, we consider that a pragmatic, workable Code can be developed in the prescribed timeframe, including with certain features that might be considered 'interim'. To this end, PIJI and JNI submit that the Code should: 1.

They are where we forge our understanding of ourselves and the world around us – and our place in a forward-looking nation. Our universities educated more Australian students than ever before in 2019 – over one million Australian and 450,00 international students. Almost 340,000 students graduated that same year. Our universities offer courses in natural and physical sciences, information technology, engineering, architecture and building, agriculture and environmental studies, health, education, management and commerce, society and culture, creative arts and food hospitality and personal services. Universities are constantly adding new disciplines of study that reflect changes in industry, society and workplaces. Through them, they seek to prepare students for jobs that do not yet exist. Australia relies on our world-class university research to find solutions to the biggest challenges and to grasp the most promising opportunities. University expertise, ingenuity and innovation help to develop new industries and new jobs that will shape Australia’s future. Through collaborations with business, university researchers help them solve their toughest problems and bring their ideas to fruition. Through this research, education and community engagement, universities improve the lives of individuals, families, communities, and the nation. Thirty-nine outstanding universities are members of Universities Australia and this, the 2021 edition of University Profiles, is your guide to all of them.

  • Australian Awards for University Teaching 2018
    AUSTRALIAN AWARDS FOR UNIVERSITY TEACHING 2018 AUSTRALIAN AWARDS FOR UNIVERSITY TEACHING 1 2 AUSTRALIAN AWARDS FOR UNIVERSITY TEACHING AUSTRALIAN AWARDS 2018 FOR UNIVERSITY TEACHING 4 FOREWORD 5 AWARD FOR AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITY TEACHER OF THE YEAR 7 AWARDS FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE 15 AWARDS FOR PROGRAMS THAT ENHANCE LEARNING 23 CITATIONS AUSTRALIAN AWARDS FOR UNIVERSITY TEACHING 3 FOREWORD Inspiring teachers transform lives. Seldom is this evidenced so clearly as it is in Australia’s world-class universities — in our labs and lecture theatres, classrooms and startup hubs, in simulations and experiential learning. Our greatest university educators not only prepare students for the careers that await — they also spark a deep passion for ideas, knowledge and evidence in those they teach. And they imbue a love of learning to last a lifetime. Across our country, every day, Australia’s highly-skilled university teachers bring to life the mission of our 39-member universities — to educate, inspire and kindle a passion for learning. Great teaching expands our thinking and broadens our horizons. Great teaching brings out the best in a learner. Great teaching makes learning joyous. This is exactly what these awards recognise. The Australian Awards for University Teaching have existed for more than two decades — these prestigious honours recognise brilliant teachers in Australian higher education. Superlative teaching — the imparting of knowledge, excitement, confidence and wonder — is what the inspirational winners of these awards do, day in and day out. These awards not only pay tribute to individual teachers – they also recognise developments in teaching practice and student learning, sharing it across the sector for the benefit of all.
