We were honoured to have our Reporting Islam project showcased at this year’s New News forum hosted by the University of Melbourne’s Centre for Advancing Journalism (October 29).
Our project manager Dr Abdi Hersi and I conducted a workshop centred around the reporting of a mosque proposal in a regional community and later joined lawyer and South Sudanese community leader Kot Monoah on a panel chaired by Denise Ryan-Costello, journalism lecturer at Swinburne University.
The discussion has been ably reported here on The Citizen by Master of Journalism student Emily Porello.
Here is the Twitter coverage of the session:
Our Griffith University project (co-led by colleague Associate Professor Jacqui Ewart) recently won the 2016 Queensland Multicultural Award for our ground-breaking Reporting Islam Project.
Since its inception in 2014, our team has created a suite of research-based multi-media training and education resources for Australian media practitioners and tertiary institutions.
