Journalism sold short?
Professor John Henningham of
JSchool (
http://www.jschool.com.au/) had a think piece about journalism education in last week's
Media section of
The Australian (23 October 2003). The piece was adapted from an address Professor Henningham gave to PANPA (
http://www.panpa.org.au/) in 2003. The article begins: "
Journalism has been taught on and off at Australian and New Zealand universities for more than 80 years. One would think that by now they'd be getting it right, but I've concluded that they're getting it more wrong than right -- certainly in Australia." The full text is at
