DRIVE TO FIND PASIFIKA LECTURER FOR NEW JOURNALISM COURSE
http://pacific.scoop.co.nz/2010/08/drive-to-find-pasifika-lecturer-for-new-journalism-course/
AUCKLAND (Pacific Scoop/Pacific Media Watch): New Zealand's AUT University is seeking a Pasifika journalist and educator to join its teaching staff.
The university's School of Communication Studies described the new post in an advertisement today as a "challenging opportunity to lead, develop and teach the new Graduate Diploma in Pacific Journalism programme".
The new staff person would also contribute to other journalism papers.
Besides core journalism skills, this diploma will also offer specialist papers in Maori and Pasifika Media Industry and Reporting the Pacific Region with both Pasifika media and mainstream media internships available.
"Applicants need a thorough knowledge of reporting and production in one or more areas of the news media," said the ad.
"They are also expected to have outstanding Pacific and mainstream media experience and industry connections with strong roots and mana in the Pasifika community."
As a minimum requirement, applicants are expected to have at least five years experience in an area of Pacific journalism and an undergraduate degree. A postgraduate qualification is preferred, but not essential.
'Significant steps'
"Recruiting a Pasifika staff person and the new course are significant steps for media diversity education in Aotearoa/New Zealand," said Pacific Media Centre director David Robie.
"Finally we have some recognition of the value of cross-cultural skills and different cultural values in the news media.
"This is in line with the changing demographics in New Zealand. We want more journalists telling their own stories from their own perspective."
He has been one of the sponsors of the new initiative, which has followed years of lobbying by the Pacific Islands Media Association (PIMA) for a new Pacific Islands journalism course.
The one-year diploma course is not for school leavers, who would continue to enter the Bachelor of Communication Studies degree programme. Instead, it is a Level 7 programme aimed at people already in the media industry but with no qualification, or mature students with life experience wanting to make a late start in journalism.
Regional Pacific journalists and students are also welcome to apply.
AUT began teaching a Reporting the Pacific Region paper this year after a postgraduate Asia-Pacific Journalism course was established in 2007.
Many of the students' stories are published on Pacific Scoop.
* Details of the new position are on the AUT new jobs webpage:
http://careers.aut.ac.nz/ Deadline: September 15.
