Schuler
wins conference award
 Annabel
Schuler from Waiariki Institute of Technology has won a JEA/Jeanz award
to attend the JEA conference at the University of Western Sydney in
November.
The two associations offered the $1500 grant to help a journalism educator
starting an academic career to attend the Sydney conference.
“We were really pleased with the standard and quality of the applicants,”
said Jeanz president David Venables. “It was a difficult decision to
make. We thought that Annabel’s abstract for a paper was both topical
and interesting, and our Australian friends would be interested to hear
about the empowering effect of teaching journalism ethics to Maori trainees.”
The grant covers registration, accommodation and airfares to the JEA
conference.
Following this initiative, the JEA is offering a $500 award to help
early-career
Australian researchers or academics attend the Sydney conference.
AGM will elect
new president
David Venables will stand down as Jeanz president at the
New Plymouth
conference on December 4.
David is also leaving the Wellington School of Journalism at Massey
University
where he has taught since 1993. He is joining National Radio as a court
reporter, taking over from Merle Nowland.
David will be involved in planning the New Plymouth conference but says
he
will hand over to a new president at the AGM in absentia.
Jeanz secretary Ruth Thomas says the association has come of age over
the
last couple of years. She says David grew into the role as president
and made
a big contribution, in particular fostering closer ties with our Australian
colleagues.

Conference - Call for Papers
Jeanz is now inviting papers for the 2003
conference to be held in New Plymouth on December 4-5.
The theme is The Odd Couple: Academic Degrees versus Skills-Based
Training. The conference will look at journalism training against
a background of increasing demand for degree programmes.
Papers on all journalism topics will be considered, but preference
may be given to those dealing with practical aspects of journalism education,
or offering an academic reflection on issues pertaining to journalism
training.
There is space for eight papers, with half-an-hour allotted to each
(45mins
available for some), including question time. If more than eight papers
are
accepted, consideration may be given to running papers concurrently.
 Abstracts
