Authors

R. Patching, Charles Sturt University

Abstract

Where is journalism taught in Australia, who teaches it, how many students do they teach; and what form do their courses take? What do the journalism course coordinators around the country think about some of the contentious issues in journalism education, like accreditation, union involvement, equipment needs and shorthand? This article provides some answers based on a preliminary comparative survey of vocation-based journalism courses in Australia.
