National Steering Committee

Committee Structure

The Reporting Diversity Project was a partnership between a number of universities and media organisations across Australia. Several committees have been formed since the commencement of the project in August 2005 as a way to:

• facilitate communication between the partner organisations in order to achieve the key objectives of the project; and
• provide a consultation mechanism between the project members and key stakeholders from the media industry and community groups within Australia.

National Steering Committee

The National Steering Committee (NSC) included one or more members from each of the project partners. The role of the Steering Committee included:

• discussing and determining the policy direction for the project, particularly in relation to the development of the project resources;
• discussing and commenting on the draft resources;
• identifying potential members for the Community and Media Reference Groups; and
• promoting the project to key stakeholders.

The National Steering Committee had regular face-to-face meetings and teleconferences throughout the project. In between these meetings there was constant communication amongst NSC members.
