Hi all,

Apologies for cross-posting but there’s one last chance to extend your post-AANZCA stay in the sunshine state and get your abstract in for JERAA!

Thanks,

Journalism Education and Research Association of Australia (JERAA) CONFERENCE UPDATE, August 12, 2025 SECOND KEYNOTE SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT This year’s JERAA Conference is already shaping up to be a big one – we have received more than 70 abstracts from around Australia and the world.  The Organising Committee is hard at work reviewing your submissions but, in the meantime, we have an exciting announcement about our second Keynote Speaker.  We are delighted to announce that our Day 2 Keynote Speaker is Professor P. Sainath, the Founder Editor of the People’s Archive of Rural India (PARI). PARI aims to address the failure of the corporate media to cover two-thirds of India’s population — the rural poor. Professor Sainath is the Founder Editor of the People’s Archive of Rural India. The archive is an outcome of his three decades-plus in journalism – including a quarter century of reporting from rural India. Sainath is the former Rural Affairs Editor of The Hindu, and is a writer and journalism teacher. He was the 2007 winner of the Ramon Magsaysay Award, Asia’s most prestigious prize. He has also won the World Media Summit Global Award for Excellence 2014, in Public Welfare reporting. He was the first reporter to win Amnesty International’s Global Award for Human Rights Journalism in its inaugural year in 2000. Professor Sainath will follow our first announced keynote, Professor Natalie Fenton from Goldsmiths (University of London), who will be our Day 1 Keynote Speaker. AND....If this announcement has reminded you of a forgotten or unfinished abstract, there is good news: there is still one last opportunity to submit for JERAA 2025!!   The final closing date for submissions is 5pm Wednesday 13 August.   Please refer to the Call for Papers for guidelines —and you can email your Abstract to JERAAC...@griffith.edu.au We will be in touch with submission outcomes and further information about accommodation and activities by the end of August. Also note we will be holding a special Early Career Researcher (ECR) and HDR day on Sunday November 30, the day before the JERAA conference opens — we will provide more details in the coming months. The JERAA Conference this year is December 1-3, at Griffith University's Southbank campus in the heart of Brisbane and on the banks of Maiwar (the Brisbane River).
