Welcome to the Media Unit
The Media Unit connects the media in Australia and overseas to the considerable resources of the University of Wollongong, by putting journalists in touch with our experts in a wide variety of specialist fields. We also alert journalists to potential stories with UOW academics, management and students involved in research, teaching and other activities.
The Media Unit is staffed by experienced journalists who also keep the University community and other stakeholders informed through regular news stories on the UOW website, and by producing UOW's quarterly magazine Campus News.
