How has the Australian media represented Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities?\n\nBlak Bias is an in-depth look at Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the news \u2013 everything from the COVID-19 pandemic to land rights to the Cleo Smith case.\n\nRacist stereotypes, deficit narratives, and unethical practices are still everywhere in mainstream media \u2013 this podcast explores how and why these patterns keep repeating. Hosted by Indigenous journalists Rhianna Patrick and Madeline Hayman-Reber, the six-part series exposes how bringing Indigenous perspectives to the newsroom is often misunderstood as bias \u2013 rather than expertise. Based on research by Professor Heidi Norman, Archie Thomas and the team at the Centre for the Advancement of Indigenous Knowledges (CAIK) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Blak Bias takes you deep into the news to understand\u2013and challenge\u2013the colonial narratives of Australian mainstream media.\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
