Resources for Journalists
ACER can provide a range of services and resources to journalists researching and reporting on educational issues.
Expert commentary
ACER spokespeople can provide independent, research-based expert commentary on a wide range of educational issues for print journalists as well as for radio and television news programs.
Media releases
ACER distributes media releases with most new research reports. In most cases it is possible for journalists to obtain an advance copy of the report under embargo. Our media releases are also published on our website on the day of a report's release. To join ACER's media contact list please contact Louise Reynolds on (03) 9277 5582 or email communications@acer.edu.au.
