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

  • 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.

  • Australian Journalism Students’ Professional Views and News Consumption: Results from a Representative Study
    Australian journalism students’ professional views and news consumption: results from a representative study Folker Hanusch, Katrina Clifford, Kayt Davies, Peter English, Janet Fulton, Mia Lindgren, Penny O’Donnell, Jenna Price, Ian Richards and Lawrie Zion Abstract Journalism education’s role in shaping students’ professional views has been a topic of interest among scholars for the past decade in particular. Increasing numbers of studies are concerned with examining students’ backgrounds and views in order to identify what role exposure to the tertiary environment may play in socialising them into the industry. This study reports on the results of the largest survey of Australian journalism students undertaken to date, with a sample size of 1884 students. The study finds that time spent studying journalism appears to be related to changes in role perceptions and news consumption. Final-year students are significantly more likely to support journalism’s watchdog role and to reject consumer-oriented and “loyal” roles. They also consume more news than first-year students. On the other hand, journalism education appears to have little impact on views of controversial practices, with only marginal differences between final- and first-year students. Introduction Research into journalism students’ views has gained currency among scholars in recent years, with an increasing number of studies conducted across various national contexts, and even comparative studies increasingly appearing. These studies have been aimed at filling a gap in our knowledge about journalism education, which has existed for some time. Until recently, most discussions in the field were based on educators’ perspectives, with relatively little reflection about how journalism education was actually impacting on students.
