Report by Pacific Media Centre
Welcome to the 4th World Journalism Education Congress that will be held in Auckland, from July 14 to July 16, 2016.
The conference, hosted by Auckland University of Technology’s School of Communication Studies, will provide a discussion forum on the development of journalism and journalism education worldwide.
