Not Just News to Us: Disruption and Indigenous New Media
Friday, 28 Oct 2016, 05:00pm - 06:00pm
Past event
Indigenous voices are flourishing online, but are any being heard? What impact is the proliferation of Black media having on mainstream news values and journalistic practices? Has it improved the representation of Indigenous people? Are these active voices disrupting and contesting other important forums? This panel will discuss the civic impact of new media enabled First Nations news outlets, how they work, what can be improved and what to expect next.
