The JoMeC (Journalism-Media-Communication) Network is a trans-disciplinary group of Australian scholars from the Journalism, Communication Studies/Media Studies and Public Relations disciplines.

The JoMeC Network has engaged extensively in the Australian higher-education sector to develop guiding Threshold Learning Outcome statements to support curriculum development and improvement.

This web hub contains a summary of research that has been conducted about the knowledge, skills and applications expected of Bachelor-level graduates in JoMeC disciplines, with a specific focus on graduates in Journalism, Public Relations, and Communication and/or Media Studies.

The Network seeks to be an ongoing forum in which Australian university scholars and other stakeholders in the JoMeC disciplines can canvass, reflect upon and collaborate around learning standards, curriculum reform, and other shared learning and teaching issues.

The Office for Learning & Teaching has accepted the JoMeC Network’s Final Report on its OLT-funded project

You can access the related Threshold Learning Outcome (TLO) statements for Australian Bachelor-degree programs with majors in journalism, media and communications that were prepared by the JoMeC Network. Extended discipline specific statements have also been created for Journalism and Public Relations.

Preliminary TLO statements for Communication and/or Media Studies have been drafted, and are available to focus further discussions about learning outcomes within that discipline.
