Centre for the Study of Journalism and History

Description

In the past decade, the Centre for the Study of Journalism and History has earned a reputation as a nexus for interdisciplinary research into journalism and history. It has hosted over ten international conferences, fostering dialogue among experts from more than 20 nations on utilising journalism to interpret the past and shed light on public discourse, language, and the public sphere. The Centre has a keen interest in creating robust methodologies for harnessing digital journalism archives.
