The Centre for Advancing Journalism is the home of the Master of Journalism at the University of Melbourne. Our role is to advance journalism and to help it flourish. It’s an aim we share with LINA and its member publications. Our students learn their craft by publishing widely, including on our own site, The Citizen, and through industry-based internships We’re also a research centre that advocates for public interest journalism, so we’re delighted to be supporting the 2024 LINA conference.
