In assessing the literature to date, in the field of journalism capstone units, there is an absence of research on the potential of Australian journalism capstone units that help cultivate journalism students’ international networks through new media platforms. I argue that there is a need for an Australian journalism capstone unit that focuses on a global vision for post-programme work opportunities in a radically changed and digitally driven global landscape, which does not rely on physical travel. This is especially pertinent for students in the Australian communications network, which has a legacy tradition of insularity that is cultivated by geographical isolation. This factor has also become more pertinent in the wake of COVID-19 travel restrictions.

在评估迄今的文献时，在新闻界的新闻单位领域，没有关于澳大利亚新闻界的新闻单位的潜力的研究，这些潜力可以通过新的媒体平台帮助培养新闻业学生的国际网络。我认为，有必要建立一个澳大利亚新闻界的顶峰部门，该部门着眼于在根本改变且以数字驱动的全球格局下，对节目后工作机会的全球视野，而这并不依赖于实际旅行。这对于澳大利亚通信网络中的学生尤为重要，该网络具有地理上的孤立性，形成了与世隔绝的传统。在COVID-19出行限制之后，这一因素也变得更加相关。
