PACER ELIGIBLE PROGRAM

Truth, Power and a Free Press is a permanent exhibition where students can investigate stories and objects from Australia's rich media history.

In this program, students will develop their media literacy and critical thinking skills while learning about the important role that the media has within our democracy. Students will explore the stories behind a range of museum objects and collaborate in heritage spaces where members of the press really worked. In this program students are encouraged to look for reliable sources and ask key questions of the media they consume in order to be empowered, informed digital citizens.
