Director’s Note

The Student Journalism Conference (A.K.A. Stujocon) has been a long time coming. A hundred years, to be exact. Australian student media was born in 1925 when Farrago was founded at the University of Melbourne, but it has culminated in a gathering of over 120 student journalists from 20 publications across the country, plus the Philippines. Collectively, this may be our greatest achievement yet.

It has been a great pleasure, though not quite easy, to put this conference together. Working in collaboration with so many publications has shown me how much we are capable of when we work together: those lonely hours that we spend toiling away at our newspapers, magazines, and radio stations do not exist in a vacuum. We are a network of people who clearly need to work together, for we have more to benefit from it than we know.

I am very grateful to the people who have come to speak at Stujocon, and to the many organisations who have supported us and made this possible. The University of Sydney SRC has been vital, not only in providing our primary source of funding (with which we have been able to bring all of these people together), but through the tireless work that people have been doing behind the scenes. Thank you to Julia and Chitra for being queens of admin. Thank you to Ellie Robertson, my Assistant Director, who has been unwavering, tireless, and dedicated: I could not ask for a better colleague or friend. Thank you to Mickie, Will and Charlotte, without whom this program would not be in your hands.

For those who haven’t seen their interstate friends since the 2024 Student Media Conference, I hope that you reconnect with everyone you have missed. For those who are coming for the first time, I hope that you enjoy your stay in Sydney, meet new friends, and learn just how fortunate we are to be connected with and surrounded by so many talented student journalists.

With love, Imogen Sabey

2025 Stujocon Director & Honi Soit Editor

Hosted by Honi Soit

This conference would not have been possible without many things, but none moreso than the 2025 Honi Soit editorial team: Purny Ahmed, Mehnaaz Hossain, Ellie Robertson, Imogen Sabey, Charlotte Saker, Will Winter, and Victor Zhang.

Thank you for everything.

It’s not just talking: Melbourne and Sydney’s music scene are battling it out through music from local artists. We’ll unpack what the gig scenes are like in each city and how student music and culture are a fundamental element of student radio.
