Abstract

This issue of the 'Asia Pacific Media Educator' is dedicated to Professor Joseph Ascroft, who served as the mentor for several authors in this issue. Professor Emeritus Joseph Raymond Ascroft was born in 1934 in Blantyre, Malawi to John and Frances Ascroft. His childhood saw him move with his parents and sister, Clare to Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), before travelling to Cape Town, South Africa, at age 12 years where he spent the next 10 years furthering his education. During his first year of university at The University of Cape Town, apartheid was introduced; he was not allowed to pursue his dream of studying to become an architect, and instead he graduated with a degree in social work, one of the few subjects available to a coloured man at that time.

期刊介绍： Asia Pacific Media Educator is an international refereed journal published twice a year by SAGE Publications (New Delhi) in collaboration with the School of the Arts, English and Media, Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts, University of Wollongong in Australia. The journal follows international norms and procedures of blind peer reviewing by scholars representing a wide range of multi-disciplinary areas. APME focuses on generating discussions and dialogues among media educators, researchers and journalists. Content ranges from critical commentaries and essays to research reports and papers that contribute to journalism theory development and offer innovative ideas in improving the standard and currency of media reportage, teaching and training specific to the Asia Pacific region. Papers that integrate media theories with applications to professional practice, media training and journalism education are usually selected for peer review. APME also carries a Q&A section with book authors. APME takes conventional book reviews to a more creative level where reviewers directly engage with authors to understand the process that authors take in researching and writing the book, clarify their assumptions and pose critical questions.
