The long-term aim of this project was to improve media reporting ofAboriginal issues asmany non-Aboriginal journalists nevermanage tomeet and talk with Aboriginal peopleabouttheir lifestyleandbeliefs,andthisoftenresults innarrowandmisinformedreporting. Inanattempttorespond to this current situation, eight final-year ECU journalism students were offered an opportunity byCUCRH to participate in a one-month journalism placement with Aboriginal communities in two WesternAustraliantownsinJuly2009,2010and2011.Attheendoftheplacement,thestudentswereaskedtoprepareabriefwrittenreportonwhattheyhadlearntfromtheexperience.WorkingalongsideAboriginalpeoplewasanespeciallyprofoundexperienceforme.”“Thetimetherehasbeenvaluableforlifelessonsasawhole.Ithastaughtme not to stereotype a group of people.” “I cannot put into words how informative and useful thisexperiencewas,assistingme inbothmyworkand inmy social interactionswith the indigenous community.”“ThiswasthemostvaluablethingIhavedoneinthewholetimeIhavebeenatuni.Ilearnttobemoreconfident,culturallyaware,anddiscoveredthatIwanttoworkinthisarea”(StudentfeedbackonthePilbaraPlacement,2010-2011).

ParticipationinECUandSAHacademicandprofessionaleventsI have a strong commitment to ECU, to its vision, values, staff and students. Examples of this can be seen in the fact that for the past 15 years, I have attended every University Open Day and Induction week, and I have only missed one Graduation Ceremony. I have participated in nearly every art, film, video, fashion, Design, journalism, broadcast and advertising event held in the School of Arts and Humanities. Also, I am a long time member and supporter of WAAPA events.
