Subject: Media Wars: Media Studies and Journalism Education


				MEDIA WARS:
		Media Studies and Journalism Education
			  	  SEMINAR

			Friday 27 November 1998
               Queensland University of Technology
                       (Gardens Point campus)
                    	    Brisbane, Australia

The Media Wars seminar will bring together leading media studies and
journalism educators and industry professionals to explore the common
ground, as well as the differences, between the two disciplines. While the
two areas have at times shared an uneasy and tense co-existence, there is
also considerable evidence of productive interchange. This seminar will
consider these issues in relation to 'tabloidisation' of media, public
journalism, and the future of public broadcasting and 'public interest' media.

Speakers include:

John Hartley (Professor, University of Wales, Cardiff), author of "Popular
Reality: Journalism, Modernity, Popular Culture"
 
Keith Windschuttle (Macleay College), author of "The Poverty of Media
Theory" which appeared in the March 1998 edition of Quadrant

Wendy Bacon (Department of Social Communication and Journalism, University of
Technology, Sydney)

Stuart Cunningham (Professor, School of Media and Journalism, Queensland
University of Technology)
 
Cratis Hippocrates (School of Media and Journalism, Queensland University
of Technology)
 
Chris Lawe Davies (Department of Journalism, University of Queensland)
 
Clem Lloyd (Professor, Department of Journalism, University of Wollongong)
 
Catharine Lumby (Macquarie University, author of "Bad Girls: Media, Sex and
Feminism in the 90s")
 
Michael Meadows (School of Film, Media and Cultural Studies, Griffith
University)
 
Julianne Schultz (journalist and author, "Reviving the Fourth Estate, Media,
Accountability and Democracy")
