These learning activities offer opportunities for students to apply skills in real-world settings, broaden their knowledge, deepen their expertise, meet new contacts and mentors, and build a portfolio of practical work to showcase to potential employers. Political theorist Harry Boyte notes that classroom–community projects also increase students’ exposure to civic forms of knowledge about the experience, knowledge, perspectives and philosophical frameworks of community members and about matters that affect community life. This chapter focuses on core approaches to deliberative pedagogy that educators should consider if their goal is to help students to acquire these civic forms of knowledge through classroom-community projects. The chapter presents a case ...

The article uses Indonesia as a case study, with a focus on issues that arose in news media reporting in the wake of a major polio outbreak. At the time of the outbreak, vaccination rates were reported as only 72 percent on average, with immunity rates below 56 percent in some areas. In this context, the new importation of this crippling and potentially deadly disease spread rapidly until targeted immunisation campaigns in affected provinces as well as three national campaigns were conducted. Participation in the first targeted vaccination round had been high, but children need multiple doses of oral polio vaccine (OPV) to ensure high protection, and numbers returning for the second round plummeted in high-risk a...

Ethical review involves a bureaucratized process for checking that researchers apply risk management strategies when dealing with human participants. Ethical review can also be a powerful instrument for RHD supervisors in the creative arts if they use it to lead students through processes of imagining, articulating, and improving their methodologies and relationships with research participants. Proposed strategies involve adaptation of theories of visualization and imagination from several disciplines—imagined interaction from the social sciences and psychology, dramatic rehearsal from political science, and creative visualization from the health professions, sports coaching and many other personal–professional development contexts. By using creativity and imagination, supervisors can use ethical review to help students to ‘walk through’ the potential, progressive phases of proposed research in order to refine or redesign both ‘big picture’ strategies and specific steps taken to reach research goals. This can stimulate students to unearth possibilities that improve the quality and quantity of knowledge that their research generates and to avoid or manage problems that might disrupt their research.

The JERAA Executive's submission to the Senate Select Committee on the Future of Public Interest Journalism addresses three terms of reference that are particularly germane to the Association’s work. These are: The current state of public interest journalism in Australia and around the world, including the role of government in ensuring a viable, independent and diverse service; The future of public and community broadcasters in delivering public interest journalism, particularly in underserviced markets like regional Australia, and culturally and linguistically diverse communities; Examination of ‘fake news’, propaganda, and public disinformation, including sources and motivation of fake news in Australia, overseas, and the international response. The submission drew from e...

A case study of the much-reported maiden speech by populist leader Pauline Hanson to the Australian Senate in 2016 is used to identify trends and patterns in stories that resulted from her oration. The case study findings were used to distil nine recommendations for journalists about how to research and report on statements by high-profile political and opinion leaders who peddle suspected alternative facts and post-truth logic. The findings indicate a need for journalists to reassert their autonomy over storytelling agendas through decoding post-truth discourse to identify underlying news issues, then applying rigour in certain fundamentals of fact checking, information sourcing, framing and backgrounding of stories. The case study ...
