Student requests

The Commission receives a large number of requests from journalism students seeking assistance with assignments.

In an effort to assist students and ensure there is readily available information on the Commission's positions and public statements, every effort is made to ensure the media centre is up-to-date with media releases, speeches, opinion pieces and submissions.  

Please note, however, that due to extremely busy workloads the President and Commissioners are not available to undertake media interviews for student projects.
