Report by Pacific Media Centre
Welcome to the 4th World Journalism Education Congress (WJEC) that will be held in Auckland, from July 14 to July 16, 2016. With an Australian and Pacific preconference on July 13.
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. Contemporary developments signal significant shifts in the place of journalism programmes within the university and broader educational environment and in relationships with industry and wider society.
The implications of this transition will be the focus of the 4th World Journalism Education Congress (WJEC).
Journalism Education in the Asia-Pacific will also be a strong feature of the conference in partnership with the Pacific Media Centre and Media Educators Pacific.
