Swinburne University of Technology students will also be reporting on the Victorian state election with a live radio broadcast on Saturday 26 November. 
Journalism students will host the broadcast on the Vision Australia Radio network across Victoria including on the digital radio station IRIS in Melbourne.
They will be crossing to reporters at key electorates across the state to discuss the issues that impacted the election.
A team of analysts, led by Swinburne politics students, will crunch the numbers and a social media team will be updating audiences online via a blog on Swinburne’s student publication The Standard .
The coverage will also feature Swinburne politics academic Dr Damon Alexander who will be casting his expert eye over how the count is progressing and what it means for Victorians.
Head of Journalism and Executive Producer of the coverage, Peter Marcato says the project is a great example of providing real-world industry experiences for students.
He says, “After the success of our federal election broadcast, the students were quite keen to broadcast the state election to listeners across Victoria.
“Swinburne is providing these opportunities to work with industry to put together a live radio program, to bring the news of the election to listeners across Victoria and showcase the emerging student talent coming through the Media and Communications Degree.”
