This article explores how educational qualifications, age, gender and regional context affect journalism educators’ perceptions of journalism’s normative roles and the future needs of journalism students. It draws on Australian and New Zealand/Aotearoan responses to the 2021 World Journalism Education Council (WJEC) Survey Journalistic Roles, Values and Qualifications in the 21st Century: How Journalism Educators Across the Globe View the Future of a Profession in Transition. It shows that holding a Ph.D. diminishes support for traditional observer and disseminator roles and predicts support for the mobilizer role. Age also predicts role perception; it diminishes support for the disseminator and mobilizer roles for both the current position of journalists and journalists in the next ten years. These age and education effects are independent of each other. The findings point to the need for more detailed research on the effects of further education on journalism teachers’ professional conceptions and teaching strategy.

This article reports on a pilot study that examined representational and content diversity in Australian media through semi-structured interviews with experts in the field and secondary documentary analysis of available public reports, news articles and websites. Of the eleven axes of diversity explored in the wider project, this article focuses on ability, ethnicity, religion and class, based on the experience and expertise of the interview participants. The analysis revealed four common themes: (1) the media’s tendency to narrowly and predictably portray diverse groups; (2) the lack of diversity in newsrooms and management, and its impact on content and representation; (3) commercial imperatives and (4) the value and impact (or not) of policies. While there are some areas of the media that are seen to be doing a better job, the overwhelming consensus among the participants supported community advocacy and academic literature that finds Australian news media can do better when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

The crisis in the news industry is affecting journalism as a profession. There are concerns about the increasing precarity of the job, with fewer opportunities of full-time employment and a clear career path. Through an analysis of the Australian Bureau of Statistics Census 2021 data, this study examines the current state of journalists’ occupation. Since 2011, there was an overall decline (19 per cent) in the number of journalists in Australia. The largest reduction occurred in print media, where the number of journalists halved. In contrast, the number of ‘journalists not further defined’ increased by 39 per cent. This category reflects the increase in the number of journalists who would not typically be working in a traditional journalism role. Workers in these categories of ‘not further defined’ and ‘not elsewhere classified’ earn less, are younger and are less likely to be employed full-time. Overall, the data reveal that many journalists in 2021 are facing precarious work arrangements.

In the present study, we compare coverage in mainstream English and minority ethnic media in Australia of the Uluru Statement proposal for a Voice and later referendum announcements, over the period from 1 January 2018 to 31 March 2023, to compare any changes over time within and between these two sets of media. With the election of the Labor government in 2022 and subsequent referendum announcements in early 2023, we are provided an opportunity to study the influence of key actors, in this case an incoming government with a signature policy, on discourse in the multi-ethnic public sphere. Our overarching aim is to compare the extent to which an issue of national, political and civic importance is addressed across both the mainstream English and the minority ethnic public sphere in contemporary, multicultural Australia. The results of keyword searches show that, while there were significant increases in mainstream English media coverage of the Voice referendum proposal, corresponding to the election of the Labor government in 2022 and then subsequent announcements of an upcoming referendum in early 2023, there was inconsistent coverage across the minority ethnic media we studied: while significant increases in coverage in the Chinese media mirrored those in the mainstream English media, there was only a small increase in one of the Vietnamese media over the same period, and no increase in the other Vietnamese media. The findings presented here have implications for scholars and others interested in the development of a truly multicultural public sphere in Australia and elsewhere.
