Griffith journalism students experience pressure and excitement of publishing at GC2018 Games

The opportunity to work at a large, international sporting event is a dream for many journalists but for Griffith University’s journalism students it became reality during the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Thirty-five journalism students and five photo-journalism students gained unique access to the GC2018 Commonwealth Games Village to work on a GOLDOC publication – The Village Source, powered by Brisbane Times under the guidance of Fairfax Media editors. Published every two days, the A3 broadsheet contained interviews with athletes and coaches, as well as news from around the GC2018 Commonwealth Games Village and the Gold Coast.
