MEDIA LECTURER

John Schwartz has been a regular media commentator on ABC Radio (3LO - 774) for the past fourteen years (with Terry Laidler, Gail Jennings and most recently with Peter Clarke) and a regular contributor to other radio stations, newspapers and magazines throughout Australia.


During his career, John has been interviewed on many highly regarded news and current affairs shows including "The 7.30 Report" and "Lateline" on ABC Television and "Insight" on SBS TV.

John has been doing ABC radio interviews throughout Australian capital cities, regional centres as well as over the past 3 years doing regular radio interviews and commentaries on Radio Singapore. John has also been a project consultant to two new Heinemann books on VCE Media. He is currently senior media lecturer at Swinburne University.

 


"Brilliant! John was able to engage our students for the whole time - the stories, the video and articles and cartoons all provided our students with food for thought. Both staff and students were very impressed with John's ability to teach and reintroduce the study of language in the media."
- Terri Crisafi, Parade College.

"John was fantastic. He has given several lectures at Kilbreda and we are always impressed with his knowledge and the delivery of his ideas to the students. The girls thought he was very good. They are feeling a lot more confident about writing on (the film) for their exam."
-Kristin Gurry, Kilbreda College.

"John's insights into (the film) were most helpful. The film is complex and John's presentation helped 'unpack' the film's themes. His advice on how to 'read' the film as a text was also very helpful. Excellent response from both staff and students. His knowledge, enthusiasm and presentation skills were impressive. He is a great speaker."
-Marian Murphy, Mullauna College.
