There’s a fine line between race and racism when dissecting the Australian mainstream media and its reportage of Indigenous Affairs.
Over the last decade, conservative columnists and reporters in conservative legacy media have generated public debate over the validity of the Racial Discrimination Act. At the same time, Indigenous communities have accused the same media of covert and overt racism in reporting. TV presenter, journalist and Whadjuk Noongar woman Narelda Jacobs explores coverage of the death in custody of Kumanjayi Walker and the resulting trial. While Professor Heidi Norman from UTS discusses the coverage of the Cindy Prior case, which became subject to a nationwide debate around racial discrimination.

How much do mainstream journalists understand the nuances of Land Rights, Native Title and Indigenous land ownership?
From the birth of the Land Rights movement to the introduction of Native Title laws, mainstream media has often struggled to report accurately on issues of Indigenous land ownership. Professor Heidi Norman discusses how this reportage has impacted on the aspirations and self-determination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders while Dr Valerie Cooms, Chairwoman of the Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation gives you the community perspective on what it's like to be on the other side of those stories.

When should the race of someone be identified in a news story and when shouldn’t it?
If Indigeneity is excluded from a news story it can obscure racism–but if it’s featured, it can encourage racism and further add to media stereotyping of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. CEO of Ngaarda Media, Tangiora Hinaki, shares how racial stereotyping played out in the recent case of the abduction of 4 year old Cleo Smith, and how Indigenous media uncovered the wrongful identification of her alleged kidnapper. Hear about the long history of media reporting on race with Andrew Jakubowicz, Emeritus Professor of Sociology at UTS.

For a long time, Indigenous stories were mostly reported by non-Indigenous journalists. But that seems to be changing.
A growing cohort of Indigenous journalists and the rise of the Indigenous digital content makers are making waves across both mainstream and Indigenous media.

From keeping students connected to their schooling during the pandemic to helping coordinate clean up efforts after floods, Indigenous media does more than just report on what’s happening.
The Guardian Australia’s Indigenous Affairs editor, Lorena Allam, explains the work of Indigenous media during times of crisis. She explains how The Guardian’s approach to reporting the outbreak of COVID-19 in Indigenous communities in western New South Wales put the government on notice about vaccination rates. But at the same time, mainstream news too often fell into victim-blaming.

How has the Australian media represented Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities?
Blak Bias is an in-depth look at Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the news – everything from the COVID-19 pandemic to land rights to the Cleo Smith case.
Racist stereotypes, deficit narratives, and unethical practices are still everywhere in mainstream media, this podcast explores how and why these patterns keep repeating. Hosted by Indigenous journalists Rhianna Patrick and Madeline Hayman-Reber, this six-part series exposes how bringing Indigenous perspectives to the newsroom is often misunderstood as bias, 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 UTS, Blak Bias takes you deep into the news to understand, and challenge the colonial narratives of Australian mainstream media.

After decades of Indigenous policy failure, could Indigenous Data Sovereignty be the answer in making policy work for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders?
There’s a global movement pushing for Indigenous Data Sovereignty but how do we move from data dependency to data sovereignty? What can we learn from other countries which are leading the way? And what has the pandemic revealed about the need for Indigenous people to take back their data?
Host, Rhianna Patrick examines the world of Indigenous Data Sovereignty with Professor Maggie Walter (Professor of Sociology, University of Tasmania) Associate Professor Maui Hudson (Director of Te Kotahi Research Institute, University of Waikato), Associate Professor Jane Anderson (Anthropology and Museum Studies at NYU) and Dr Kalinda Griffiths (Epidemiologist and Scientia Lecturer at Centre for Big Data Research in Health, UNSW).

The origins of NAIDOC Week are rooted in protest and pushing for the advancement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

Host, Rhianna Patrick dives into the Indigenous wellness world with Luke Currie Richardson (instagram influencer, filmmaker and photographer), Dwayne Bannon- Harrison (Bring Back the Warrior), Jamie Marloo Thomas (co-founder of Wayapa Wuurrk) and Bianca Stawiarski (Warinda Wholistic Wellness).
