National Students Media Conference

National Students Media Conference

All the staffs of the National Student Media Conference (NSEMC) are volunteer coordinators under the age of 25. All of them have strong links with student media and youth organizations throughout Australia. The National Students Media Conference brings the student media producers, emerging media makers, editors, designers, artists, journalists and writers under a same roof, for learning, collaborating, skills sharing and networking. This continues for 5 days. However, the conference is open to all young people, who are interested in developing media, like,

- Film,
- Radio,
- TV,
- Print, or
- Web.

In this conference, delegates have come to know about social issues surrounding their works. Here they interact with media professionals and acquire insights into the political economy and social influences of their profession. The main purpose of this conference is to give emphasis on learning from this broader scope. These seminars cover a wide range of topics.
