摘要：When I wrote the editorial for the first ANZCA-themed issue of Platform in 2010, I was the Association’spostgraduate representative. I wrote about helping to initiate both a special post-graduate pre-conferenceevent at the 2009 ANZCA conference and a relationship with the editors of Platform to ensurethat the fantastic research presented by postgraduates at the ANZCA conference were disseminated anddiscussed as widely as possible.Five years later, some things have changed. I am writing this editorial having taken up the position ofPresident of the Association after a highly successful conference held in Melbourne in July. The conferencewas also the first time ANZCA was able to announce that we are publishing a new journal. CommunicationResearch & Practice aims to publish research that contributes to international scholarship and practicein the broadly defined field of communication. The journal is owned by the Australian and New ZealandCommunication Association (ANZCA), and will be published four times a year by Taylor & Francis, withthe first issue to be published in May 2015. I strongly encourage all ANZCA members to contribute tothis new journal as a place to showcase innovative research from our region to the rest of the world.While there are many exciting changes in store, some things have remained the same. I was happy tosee that the initiative I had begun as an ANZCA postgraduate representative with Lucy Morieson in 2009,the pre-conference postgraduate event, has become a very important part of the ANZCA conference andthis year was no exception. The event was completely booked out, with almost 50 postgraduates in conversationwith four academic mentors about how to use social media in research. I thank the postgraduaterepresentatives Emily van der Nagel and Robbie Fordyce for their assistance and planning of the day, andthe four mentors for giving up their time.
