Podcast research project at University of Tassie

Ever thought about getting a PhD in podcasting and audio journalism?

The University of Tasmania has put out the call for applicants to take part in a special research project, investigating how podcast distribution, production, storytelling and consumption are influencing audio-based journalism.

It says “Production and consumption of podcasts have grown significantly over the past years. Podcasting is a popular medium for listeners wanting to access journalism at a time and place of their liking.”

Scholarships are available for the project, which aims to contribute new knowledge to the understanding of journalism and the emerging field of podcast studies.

Applicants will be considered for a Research Training Program (RTP) scholarship or a Tasmania Graduate Research Scholarship (TGRS).
