Event Status
Past event

Media coverage of Indigenous peoples has tended to focus, for a long time, on negatives. It’s also tended, at least in mainstream media, to be dominated by non-Indigenous voices. What do the changes in the media landscape mean for reporting on Indigenous issues? Can new media platforms be harnessed to provide better reporting, representation and recognition of black voices? Hosted by Jack Latimore, with Allan Clarke, Paul Daley, Amy McQuire and Steve Hodder Watt.
This event is also available as part of the Saturday Day Pass.
