    Episode 53 - Lives Between The Lines (Swinburne)

    This episode by journalism students at Swinburne University looks at the spaces where many people live: from workplaces and communities to culture, money, and identity. These are stories about pressure and adaptation, of being overlooked or underestimated, and of finding ways to be seen, heard, and understood. These are lives lived between the lines.

    Episode 52 - Who Looks After Us (UNSW)

    In this episode by journalism students at UNSW, we look at care and vulnerability across very different lives. From young people navigating the dating scene, to female athletes facing higher injury risks; from the quiet work of a mortician preparing the dead with dignity, to growing concern about apps that expose children to exploitation; and the life of a refugee who found safety after fleeing persecution. Different stories…but they all ask the same question: when it matters most, who looks after us? Host: Anoushka Israni Stories: Gen Z dating - Reporter: Ben Tresno Turner The Gender Gap in Sports Injuries - Reporter: Kate Arellano  The Mortician - Reporter: Eva Matthews Nudify apps - Reporter: Raahat Shaik Escape from Afghanistan - Reporter: Salvatore Franco Production: Sound design: Britta Jorgensen Episode Executive Producer: Peter R.

    Episode 50 - Threads of Time (Griffith University)

    For our 50th episode, journalism students from Griffith University look back…and forward. They take us back to events in 1975 to report on the enduring influence of The Dismissal and the land rights movement in Australia. And we trace the echoes of those stories through our 50 episodes to present day issues about food security and sustainable fashion. From old fabric to new futures, how the past is stitched into the present.  Hosts: Mayabi Aziz and Princess Brown Stories: '1975: The Ballads of the Whitlam Dismissal' - Reporter: Mayabi Aziz 'What’s in a Name?' - Reporter: Nahri Forde 'From thrift to thriving: the rise of op shops' - Reporter: Azzen Ramathan 'Funky foods' - Reporter: Mayabi Aziz  Production supervision: Sound design: Heather Anderson and Bridget Backhaus Episode Executive Producers: Bridget Backhaus and Heather Anderson Supervising Producer: Simon Brady More stories from Griffith University: https://thesourcenews.com/  More stories from The Junction https://junctionjournalism.com/ Social media image: Urban pavement - pen_ash Music: ‘Betelgeuse’ / Kunal Shingade  ‘Come Back Home’ / Olexy

    Episode 49 - Out of the Shadows (Curtin University)

    Sex work is legal and it's in-demand. So, why are those who do sex work feeling unsafe and isolated? Sex workers rarely speak publicly but Curtin University reporter Camila Equsquiza Santa Cruz spent months interviewing some of these workers in Western Australia on a campaign they say is all about basic human rights.  Host / Reporter: Camila Equsquiza Santa Cruz Supervising Producer: Kayt Davies Episode Executive Producer: Simon Brady Music: ‘Betelgeuse’ / Kunal Shingade  ‘Drifting Thoughts’ / Free Sound Server  ‘Coniferous Forest’ / Orangery  ‘Checkmate’ / Nathan Smith Image: 'Red Umbrella' - Aline de Nadai / Unsplash  More stories from Curtin University: Western Independent  More stories from The Junction https://junctionjournalism.com/

    Episode 47 - A Rock and a Hard Place (Curtin University)

    Murujuga – the sacred rock art site in Western Australia’s Pilbara – has just been listed by UNESCO for World Heritage status. But scientific experts say preservation of the carvings – some dating back 50-thousand years – is still precarious after the federal government’s decision last month to conditionally extend the neighbouring North-West Shelf gas project. We brought you this story in 2024 and because of these very recent developments, we’re re-running the investigation by Tylah Tully from Curtin University to help you understand a story entwined in history, culture, science and politics.  Host: Andrew Dodd Reporter/Producer: Tylah Tully Episode Executive Producer: Simon Brady Statement by Raelene Cooper, Traditional Owner, on Federal Court application   Statement by Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt Report on Murujuga Rock Art Monitoring Program Statement by Woodside Energy Joint statement by Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation, Federal and Wa Governments on World Heritage listing For more stories from the best student journalism in Australia: The Junction Episode images Social media and web: Robin Chapple, Tylah Tully Music ‘Betelgeuse’ / Kunal Shingade 'Spirituality' by Maximus Sound 'Anxious' by Oleksii Kaplunskyi 'Desert Orchid' by Alisha Studio 'So Many Memories' by Myton Music 'Just a Light Secret' by MooveKa 'Come Back Home' by Olexy
