New members are always welcome
From ANZCA President, Alison Henderson
ANZCA is the professional association for communication researchers, teachers, and practitioners in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, and has been in existence since 1980. We interpret communication broadly, to incorporate scholarship and teaching in areas such as media and cultural studies, organisational and interpersonal communication, digital media and Internet studies, public relations, advertising, and journalism, and areas of the creative, visual and performing arts, as well as the professional fields related to these areas of scholarship and teaching.
ANZCA holds an annual conference in early July each year, in either Australia or New Zealand, and ANZCA full members receive the journals Media International Australia and the Australian Journal of Communication. ANZCA is affiliated with the International Communication Association and is a member of the Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences in Australia.
ANZCA has a strong postgraduate student membership, and seeks opportunities to support the work of new and emerging scholars. Postgraduate students pay a discounted membership fee and discounted registration fees for the annual conference.
We invite you to explore our website, and welcome comments and enquiries.

The 2012 ANZCA Conference will be held in Adelaide at the picturesque North Terrace campuses of the Universities of Adelaide and the University of South Australia from 4-6 July 2012, with a pre-conference postgraduate research workshop on 3 July. Conference ThemeWhen the Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that the world is in constant flux, and that opposites are intrinsically linked, the world did not understand him. But today we can confidently say that the only constant in our current global dispensation is change itself. We have witnessed dramatic changes since the World Wide Web became user friendly. The pace of communication technology has ensured that we can no longer step into the same river twice. Our economic values have changed from landed assets to digital assets. We have witnessed changes from media consumers to ‘produsers’. We have witnessed changes in movies from Hollywood to Bollywood and from Bollywood to Nollywood. We have witnessed news making change from rich nations to poor nations and from the elite to ordinary citizens. We have witnessed and are still witnessing the effects of people power in the gulf region through the use of social media. We have become circumspect in defining our geopolitical and spatiotemporal spaces, especially as we witness the unfolding of new political landscapes and movements.

Communication on the edge: ANZCA 2011 conference a full successFrom Florian KaeferHow does technology change the way we communicate? Is Wikileaks a form of journalism?
