About Russell
Russell Bishop serves as a Lecturer in Television Journalism in the Department of Journalism at Curtin University, part of the School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts within the Faculty of Humanities. A graduate of the Western Australian Institute of Technology (WAIT), the predecessor institution to Curtin University, Bishop has maintained a dual career in broadcast journalism and academia since 1979. His early professional experience commenced in radio newsrooms, encompassing roles in commercial broadcasting followed by a position at BBC Local Radio. Upon returning to Australia, he worked with prominent television networks Channel Seven and Channel Nine in Sydney. Subsequently, Bishop engaged extensively as a freelance reporter and producer, contributing to numerous Australian television programs as well as international networks.
At Curtin University, Bishop delivers instruction across essential broadcast journalism subjects, including Introduction to Broadcast, Presentation for Broadcast, Video News, Multimedia News Production, and the Journalism Major Project. He coordinates the department's Industry Placement program and holds the position of Undergraduate Course Coordinator. Bishop co-authored the third edition of Australian Broadcast Journalism, published by Oxford University Press. He also co-executive produced five seasons of Noongar Dandjoo, a national television series focused on Western Australia's Noongar community. This project exemplifies his commitment to work-integrated learning, as explored in his 2012 co-authored article 'Noongar Dandjoo: A Work Integrated Learning Case Study,' published in the Asia Pacific Media Educator. Through these teaching, coordination, and production roles, Bishop bridges industry practice with academic training in broadcast journalism.
