Journalism students

The City of Sydney receives many requests from journalism students seeking assistance with assignments. In an effort to assist students and ensure there is readily available information on our projects and programs, we make every effort to ensure City of Sydney News and our corporate website are up to date with news and announcements. Please note, due to extremely busy workloads City of Sydney staff are not available to undertake media interviews for student projects.
