Associate Professor of Journalism Studies, Monash University

Associate Professor Fay Anderson lectures in journalism history in the School of Media, Film and Journalism at Monash University. She has published widely on war journalism, media history, photography, genocide, memory and violence. Fay's and Richard Trembath’s co-authored book, Witnesses to War: The History of Australian Conflict Reporting, was published by Melbourne University Publishing in 2011 and was longlisted for a Walkley Book Award in the same year.

In 2013, Fay was awarded an Australian Research Council Linkage Grant with Michael Gawenda, Kate Darian-Smith and Sally Young and with the partners, the National Library of Australia and the Walkley Foundation, to investigate the history of Australian press photography. Their co-authored book, Chasing the Picture: Australian Press Photography, will be published in 2016 by Melbourne University Publishing. Fay’s sole-authored book, Indifference: The Holocaust and Australian Journalism, will also be published in 2016.
