Associate Lecturer
MA Journalism (UTS)
Consultation times: Wednesdays 10.30-12.30 &
Thursdays 3.30-5.30
Marcus O’Donnell has worked as a journalist and editor and has written widely about art and architecture, gay/lesbian issues, religion, classical music and film.
Most recently he was the editor of Sydney Star Observer Australia's oldest and largest circulation gay and lesbian weekly newspaper.
He is currently completing a Ph.D on apocalyptic narratives in journalism and film in a post September 11 world, at the University of Technology Sydney, where he previously taught part-time in the journalism program.
His main research interests are:
- mythical constructs used in news and feature reporting;
- the links between journalism and popular culture;
- blogging, hypertext and online media
- alternative and community media
Before settling on a career as a journalist he worked as a health educator and researcher. He also studied visual art, exhibiting and curating painting and multimedia work. So landing at the Faculty of Creative Arts feels like returning full circle.
