The network was responsible for science and factual shows such as Nova and Frontline.
The Conversation US is supported by Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Alfred P Sloan Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
The Australian, UK, and US newsrooms will reportedly share ideas and content across platforms.
JuniorCru takes home awards
The merger has worked for JuniorCru, if the awards are anything to go by.
The Brisbane-based agency took home more gongs than anybody at the BADC Awards, with the agency saying it was testament to the strength of the combined Cru and Junior teams.
Local digital agency Cru co-located with creative agency Junior in 2013, before the two companies merged to become a single entity earlier this year.
The new agency is majority owned by STW, Australasia’s leading marketing content and communications group.
