Excellence in Education Journalism Awards

2010 Awards

The Australian Council of Deans of Education Excellence in Journalism Awards are the pre-eminent awards for education journalism. They were established 17 years ago to recognise the highest quality of education journalism in Australia. Entries are judged by a panel of Deans and an established print, broadcast and online journalists.
The explicit aim of the awards is to recognise the highest quality journalism which provides a positive story of one or more of challenges, opportunities, successes in educating Australia, at any level (early childhood, school, TAFE, University or community education) in a local community or at a national level. Journalists are encouraged to contact Education Deans and Faculty Heads to develop an understanding of the innovative work of Faculties and Schools of Education.
