This morning on Let’s Talk, Dan Rennie shines a light on some of the exceptional work of our First Nations journalists are doing in black media. Qld correspondent for NITV Douglas Smith speaks about his love for telling stories, while Danny Teece Johnson reflects on the challenges surrounding reporting from mainstream media on black issues.

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. Part of the 2015 New News program hosted by the Wheeler Centre.

IndigenousX Business Development and Engagement Manager James Saunders talks about the growth of black media in Australia. ‘The importance of black media cannot be underestimated, it’s the truest purest form of bringing Indigenous voices to the forefront’, Saunders says. Let’s Talk podcast, 98.9fm, August 2020.

A conversation between Luke Pearson and Dr Sana Nakata for the Indigenous Australia and Digital Futures 2019 Seminar Series, University of Melbourne. They discussed the formation of IndigenousX as a social media project turned independent media platform; and explored some of the past achievements of IndigenousX, looking at how it has played a disruptive role in traditional media and more broadly within the national discourse on Indigenous affairs. They also discussed the challenges IndigenousX faces in establishing itself as a sustainable platform for the promotion and amplification of indigenous voices online.

Since the 1980’s, community radio stations have played a pivotal role in challenging racism in the media, while providing a platform for First Nations perspectives and stories. But in 2007 the country’s first Indigenous dedicated national television channel, NITV, hit the airwaves. So how far have we come since then? With Karla Grant, Rachel Hocking and Tanya Denning-Orman.
