THE CONVERSATION (BETA)  Academic rigour, journalistic flair

 <http://theconversation.edu.au>

A New Approach to Journalism

Welcome to The Conversation ..

Launched in March 2011, The Conversation is an independent source of 
information, analysis and commentary from the university and research 
sector. The site is in development and we welcome your feedback.

Who We Are ..

The Conversation is an independent source of information, analysis and 
commentary from the university and research sector – written by 
acknowledged experts and delivered directly to the public. As 
professional journalists, we aim to make this wealth of knowledge and 
expertise accessible to all.

We aim to be a site you can trust. All published work will carry 
attribution of the authors’ expertise and, where appropriate, will 
disclose any potential conflicts of interest, and sources of funding. 
Where errors or misrepresentations occur, we will correct these promptly.

Our initial content partners include the Australian Group of Eight 
universities (ANU, University of Adelaide, Monash University, University 
of Melbourne, University of New South Wales, University of Sydney, 
University of Queensland, and University of Western Australia) plus 
University of Technology, Sydney, CSIRO, and the Australian Science Media 
Centre.

Sincere thanks go to our Founding Partners who have given funding 
support. Those universities are ANU, Monash, Melbourne, UTS, UWA, plus 
CSIRO. See also our list of Strategic Partners.

We are based in Melbourne, Australia, and wholly owned by The 
Conversation Media Trust, a not-for-profit company.

Some of the best media coverage of The Conversation includes Mark Day in 
The Australian and Shaun Carney in The Age and SMH.

This is a beta site in development. We have a program of additional 
features and functionality that we will be introducing over the next few 
months. In the meantime, we'd be keen to hear back from you on any 
suggestions.

If you have any comments or suggestions about our service, we'd like to 
hear from you.

Cheers,
Stephen
