CQUniversity offers comprehensive online journalism courses through its eJournalism* programs.
To help graduates' employment prospects all CQUniversity journalism lecturers have significant industry experience. Their academic research aims to inform their teaching which in turn seeks to create reflective practitioners. The eJournalism program is advised by a panel composed of editors and media industry managers. Many part time teachers are actually working journalists. Courses are regularly revised to reflect current industry practices. Programs which have been restructured for easier student progress, can credit work experience and independent productions. International texts are recommended to encourage global acceptance. To train for this rapidly changing technological environment, CQUniversity journalism students report to a production centre equipped to make newspapers, magazines, radio and television programs and internet sites.
Meanwhile, CQUniversity has evaluated the Australian College of Journalism's Diploma of Freelance Journalism and formally recognised its worth by allowing its graduates exemptions and entry into CQUniversity journalism programs.

Radio, television and text journalism practices are converging through digitisation on the internet; towards a new hybrid profession, eJournalism. At CQUniversity, the internet is seen as a platform for courses, a method of publication, an object of study and a communications link to our professional collegiate. Alan Knight
