Hello, Welcome to my Protopage. I've developed this site as an exemplar for people interested in public relations, human resources, communication, and teaching/learning. This home page has been developed as a mini online portfolio or homepage. The tabs above link to pages that could be used for particular topics/themes when teaching, issues/campaigns in communication work or pages to allow you (and an internal or external audience if you choose) to monitor specific issues. Don't hesitate letting me know if you have another idea about how it could be used, or if you find this site helpful. Ross Monaghan @themediapod

I regularly conduct field trips for my students. On this trip, I drove the Deakinmobile to Sydney with four students. One of these students now works as a TV reporter, another is an adviser to a Federal politician, and another works for a leading PR firm in Melbourne.

Are you using Protopage for PR or teaching and learning purposes? Let me know if you are, I'd love to see how you're using it. Ross Monaghan @themediapod

Learning outcomes this week: >> Appreciate the role of public relations, past and present. >> Define public relations. >> Outline the Code of Ethics of the Public Relations Institute of Australia (PRIA). Remember this portal supports the unit's DSO site - visiting this site is not a substitute for checking DSO regularly. Make sure you visit DSO regularly for up-to-date and essential information about the unit's study and assessment requirements. ALL unit related communication must be via DSO's discussion areas or email. Ross Monaghan Unit Chair.
