About Us
Connecting researchers and the media industry for positive change
We support research-informed changes in the news media industry; contribute to relevant government policy submissions related to news, technology, and society; deliver industry training sessions; and make research more accessible for diverse public audiences.
We organise our Network around four key distinct but complementary themes:
01
News, digital platforms and cultures
From studying “newsfluencers” to social media logics and visual cultures.
02
Journalistic production and news audiences
Studying how journalism is made, sourced, edited, presented, and consumed.
03
News literacies, information integrity and fact-checking
Understanding how audiences encounter and respond to mis/disinformation.
04
Media governance, policy and guidelines
Advocating for safer, more responsible, and ethical media practices and governance.
