Anger after News Corp and Google Australia set up journalism academy at university business school

The director of the Centre for Advancing Journalism at the University of Melbourne, Andrew Dodd, said the first he heard of the move was when he read the press release.

Times had changed and journalists now needed to be aware of how to reach the target audience for a podcast or a piece of data journalism, he said.

It was only 12 months ago that Google signed a multiyear deal with News Corp that led to the search engine paying for journalism from news sites around the world. The deal followed years of Murdoch interests blaming the search engine for killing the business model of newspapers.
