The Junction Explainer

Welcome to The Junction, a publication that showcases the best university student journalism from Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific and allows universities to work together to produce impactful and creative reportage.
It takes students’ work to wider audiences and encourages those audiences to visit the publications of university journalism programs. It improves the experience of learning the craft of journalism and serves a public good by producing and publishing public interest reporting. The Junction builds on everything we’ve learnt from producing journalism at universities and from working together.
The staff and students of our university journalism programs make up an enormous newsroom. The Junction reflects the depth and diversity of student work, in all forms of reporting. We hope this site creates opportunities for new kinds of collaboration and storytelling to flourish.
In late 2020 we added a Resources section to the site. While most of the content here is collated by student journalists, it also features some expert content deemed by the Editorial Board to be useful for journalism students.
The Junction is published by the Journalism Education and Research Association of Australia (JERAA).
