SJAA partners with Australian literary powerhouse, Griffith Review

The Science Journalists Association of Australia is delighted to announce its partnering with esteemed Australian literary quarterly, Griffith Review, to provide discounted access to digital and print editions of the magazine. 

Griffith Review has a long and storied history of publishing award-winning science essays, non-fiction writing and reportage by some of the nation’s most accomplished writers including Ceridwen Dovey, James Bradley and Alice Gorman. In 2022, it published Jo Chandler’s ‘Buried treasure’, which was awarded the 2023 Eureka Prize for Science Journalism. 

Jackson Ryan, President of the SJAA, said “Griffith Review is an icon of the Australian literary scene and the type of science reporting found within its pages is published nowhere else. I’m so thrilled to partner with the team at GR and make it easier for our members to devour those stories.”

This is the first partnership of its kind for the SJAA and will see all the Associations members provided access to the digital and print editions of Griffith Review‘s quarterly magazine at significantly reduced prices.

“I look forward to seeing the ideas, initiatives and stories this partnership will help foster and fully expect the talented membership of the SJAA will grace the pages of GR in the future.” 

Carody Culver, the editor of Griffith Review, said, ‘We’re delighted to be partnering with the SJAA, which plays such an integral role in supporting and championing outstanding science journalism. This collaboration is an invaluable way for GR to strengthen connections with science writers at all stages of their careers; I have no doubt that the partnership will generate exciting new ventures for both our organisations.’

Founded in 2003, Griffith Review publishes four times a year in print and digital formats. Each edition explores a different theme, bringing together long-form critical and analytical non-fiction and creative writing from the finest emerging and established writers from Australia and overseas.

The Science Journalists Association of Australia was founded in 2019 to support and foster the professional interests of practising and aspiring science journalists in Australia, and to champion and advocate for independence and excellence in science journalism. It has provided more than $20,000 in grants to the Australian science journalism community, with support from the likes of The Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science and STEM Matters
