PLU in Australia
Bands of PLU students have left the LuteDome this January to convert 17 countries around the globe into their classroom. This blog highlights just one of those classes: 15 students studying media in Australia with Professor Joanne Lisosky. Students traveled to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane exploring unique media outlets in Australia as well as tasting a bit of Aussie culture. Join us as PLU students learn there is a lot more to Australian media than the Crocodile Hunter.

PLU in Australia
Wednesday, January 10th, 2007
Posted by Joanne Lisosky @ 02:32:10 am

Not to see the wizard, but to explore the world of media in the land of Murdock. It’s a perfectly smashing time to travel to this continent/country because it’s summer here... and bloody HOT.
We will travel along the east coast of the country from Melbourne to Sydney and finally to Brisbane. Field trips in these cities will include meetings with the Australian Children’s Television Foundation, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, The AGE newspaper, the Australian Communication and Media Authority, the Australian Film Commission and the Australian Museum of the Moving Image, among others.
We will conclude this course by celebrating one of the most festive holidays on the planet… Australia Day on January 26.

Watch this space for blogs from the PLU students on this study away course as they learn about Australian media... enjoy the sun... and learn to speak Aussie. Here's to no worries and many g'days...
