Asia Pacific Media Educator
Asia Pacific Media Educator (APME) is an international refereed journal published twice a year. The first issue was published in 1996 by the Graduate School of Journalism, University of Wollongong. In 2010 APME was ranked ‘B’ by the Excellence for Research in Australia (ERA) board of the Australian Research Council, placing APME in the top 30% of international refereed journals in related disciplines. Issues from 1996 to 2010 are archived here. Back issues from June 2012 can be viewed at the SAGE Journals site at http://ame.sagepub.com/
APME aims to generate dialogue among media educators, researchers and practitioners. Content ranges from critical commentaries and essays to research reports and papers that contribute to journalism theory development and offer innovative ideas in improving the standard and currency of media reportage, teaching and training specific to the Asia Pacific region. Papers that integrate media theories with applications to professional practice, media training and journalism education are usually selected for peer reviews.
