StuJo! Opening Ceremony

Roll up roll up! The inaugural Student Journalism Conference (or, StuJo! for short) is here, and we are commencing the festival with not a bang, not a whimper, but an Opening Ceremony to rival the Parisian athletic display earlier this year. Student Journalism is a sport indeed: it requires practice, patience, dedication and faith. At this Ceremony, we will hear about past iterations of student media conferences, and then launch into debates and games about the landscape of student media TODAY. Expect to meet your fellow student journalists and cast aside your inhibitions. This is a must-attend if you plan to attend other sessions at the Conference!

StuJo! Climate Change Crash Course

One of the most pressing issues for our generation to navigate, climate change is relevant to every student reporter. Climate change is a determinant of poverty, inequality and many other socio-political issues, so it is incumbent on student journalists to sound the alarm whilst dodging misinformation. The first step? Actually understanding the problem. Join the animated and illustrious Dr Karl Kruszelnicki as he explains the history of climate change science for a student journalist audience.
