Session 4: Diversity and ethics
This is the fourth and final session in a series of professional development webinars for Australian journalists to bring greater diversity and inclusion to their reporting, presented by the Walkley Foundation and the Scanlon Foundation. #4 focuses on diversity and ethics, with a conversation between Dr Hass Dellal AO, Russell Anderson and Juan Paolo Legaspi.
Over the past decades, Australia’s diversity has increased considerably as has Australia’s pride in being a multicultural society. Similarly, over this time, our understanding of how to welcome diversity has progressed. We now have over 270 ethnic groups living in Australia, consequently our diversity is a strength to embrace and integrate into our thinking. With all the best will in the world, this integration creates ethical challenges. Whether this relates to the words that we use to describe cohorts of people, an understanding of cultural appropriation, representations through images or music or the risks of gross generalisations, we can’t afford to take decades to get this right.
Hass Dellal has worked with multiple Federal and State governments throughout this time and has watched Australia’s progress in representation. Russell Anderson is the CEO at the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcaster’s Council (NEMBC), advocating for multiculturalism and media diversity. Juan Paolo Legaspi is Vice President of the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council (NEMBC). He works with community groups, government and non-government organisations to promote multiculturalism in the Australian media landscape. Join them for a discussion about the role of the media, ethics and diversity moderated by CEO of the Scanlon Foundation, Anthea Hancocks.

Session 3: Expanding your audience
This is the third in a series of professional development webinars for Australian journalists to bring greater diversity and inclusion to their reporting, presented by the Walkley Foundation and the Scanlon Foundation. This session focuses on expanding your audience, with a conversation between Jen Sharpe and Asanti Abubakar.
Jen Sharpe is currently the B&T Executive Leader, PRIA Industry Leader of the Year and Mumbrella CommsCom PR Leader of the Year and Founder of ThinkHQ which has championed inclusive communications. This burgeoning field is still testing its concepts and methods but importantly it is doing it with the input of the communities who have been previously disregarded.
Asanti Abubakar, a young community activist and advocate for Islamic, Oromo and multicultural community empowerment, will share her views on the opportunities for the Australian media to improve representation of diverse views. Jen and Asanti will discuss best-practice advice for reporting and storytelling that is inclusive of broader audiences, how we navigate past mistakes and avoid future pitfalls.

Session 2: Engaging with communities
This is the second in a series of professional development webinars for Australian journalists to bring greater diversity and inclusion to their reporting, presented by the Walkley Foundation and the Scanlon Foundation. This session focuses on engaging with communities, with a conversation between Julie Szego and Jieh-Yung Lo.
In this session we explore how media reporting and storytelling can encompass cultural nuance and the authentic representation of Australia’s cultural diversity. This is increasingly important, as evident by the challenges faced by Chinese-Australians (and, to an extent, Asian-Australians) in the context of Australia’s bilateral relationship with China and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Julie Szego, in conjunction with advice from Jieh-Yung, recently wrote an extended essay focusing on the experience of the Chinese diaspora living in suburban Melbourne. Cultural storytelling by those from outside the community requires an awareness of one’s own cultural evolution and how that informs our views and interpretations.
Hosting the webinar and moderating the Q&A will be Media Diversity Australia representative and media, communications and advocacy professional, Akashika Mohla.

Session 1: The language of storytelling
This is the first in a series of professional development webinars for Australian journalists to bring greater diversity and inclusion to their reporting, presented by the Walkley Foundation and the Scanlon Foundation. This first session focuses on the language of storytelling, hosted by Walkley-winning feature writer James Button and featuring community and youth worker Nor Shanino.
Storytelling is about listening and then getting out of the way so that the personalities and experiences can be heard. In this session, we’ll delve into the relationship between storyteller and source from both sides.
James Button will share his approach and how humility is essential in allowing individuals to trust the storyteller. In 2020, James and Julie Szego participated in a Zoom roundtable with a diverse group of young people who grew up in the Flemington/Kensington Housing Commission Flats. Nor Shanino was a participant in the roundtable and has experienced multiple approaches by media representatives. He will share his thoughts on the keys to authenticity in reporting.
The openness and willingness of the young people resulted in a publication that told the range of stories authentically. The initial roundtable was followed by individual interviews which were only possible through an acknowledgement of the value of their opinions. This isn’t always possible for news items but the investment in storytelling pays dividends when news needs to be told.
Hosted by Antoinette Lattouf from Media Diversity Australia.
The 2020 winner of the Gold Walkley Award, the highest prize in Australian journalism, was ABC’s Mark Willacy and the ABC Investigations team, Four Corners, for the shocking program “Killing Field” revealing alleged war crimes committed by Australian SAS soldiers.
Working tirelessly to find sources within the secretive ranks of the Special Air Service Regiment, the SAS, and spending weeks verifying allegations with family members of alleged murder victims on the ground in war zones, Willacy produced gut-wrenching reports too powerful for the public and the defence hierarchy to ignore.
Willacy was interviewed by Chris Masters, Gold Walkley award-winning journalist and author, and the first Australian journalist to be embedded with special forces in Afghanistan, to discuss the program, the difficulties of conducting investigations into one of the more secretive organisations in the country, and the obfuscation of the Australian Defence Force, at the 2020 Walkley Winners' Dinner in Sydney on February 26.

Exposing corruption and abuse; pushing for changes to law and policy that protect everyday Australians: that’s the power of great investigative journalism. It’s work that takes a lot of time, investment and skill from journalists: three things that are under more pressure than ever in today’s media.

A Companion to the Australian Media is the first comprehensive and authoritative study of Australia’s press, broadcasting and new media sectors.
Our September 2014 Walkley Media Talk at the State Library of NSW brought together Companion editor Professor Bridget Griffen-Foley of Macquarie University and a panel of experts chosen from the 300 leading industry figures and academics who contributed to this essential guide as they discuss the Australian media industry's past, present and future.
The Companion's 500 entries explore the history of newspapers since the launch of Sydney's first paper in 1803, and cover magazines, radio and television, along with the emergence of the internet and the rapid development of ‘new media’.
The panel also includes Gerald Stone, Professor Julianne Schultz and Gerard Noonan.
This week, the panel discuss 'forbidden content' - the IS execution video and stolen celebrity nude pics. Does the media have the right to publicise their existence while telling people not to view them? Plus, journalists on Twitter, do attacks sometimes go too far?

Cartoonists lampoon our politicians, provide a running commentary on the day’s big issues and can sum up a news story with a perfect gag. Our August 2014 Media Talk at the State Library of NSW featured a panel of Walkley Award-winning cartoonists and illustrators discussing the rich material presented to them each day, the illustrating process, and where the industry is heading in the age of interactive and digital storytelling. The panel includes Lindsay Foyle, Cathy Wilcox, Fiona Katauskas and Anton Emdin.

Whistleblowers and journalists play a crucial role in scrutinising the powerful and holding them to account. The revelations by Edward Snowden have transformed our understanding of how sweeping digital surveillance techniques capture personal information about all of us.
They have also exposed the immense dangers faced by whistleblowers in exposing illegality by governments, with Snowden having fled the US and currently residing in Russia.
This MEAA and The Walkley Foundation special event, in partnership with Blueprint for Free Speech, features US whistleblower Thomas Drake, a former senior executive of the US National Security Agency, together with Edward Snowden’s US defence attorney Jesselyn Radack in discussion with ABC broadcaster Quentin Dempster.

Women in Media NSW is pleased to announce that the third Women in Media networking event on July 30, featuring a panel of successful and thought-provoking journalists speaking on The Confidence Trick, was a huge success.
The panelists included Chris Bath (anchor, Channel 7), Sunanda Creagh (news editor, The Conversation), Kate Torney (director of news, ABC) and convenor Catherine Fox (journalist, author and former AFR columnist), as well as special guest Angela Priestley, founding editor of Women’s Agenda and author of Women Who Seize the Moment.
The panel discussion focused on the long-held belief that women are less confident in professional settings and the so-called “confidence gap” between women and men.
Six-time Walkley Award-winner Pamela Williams was awarded the Walkley Book Award in 2013 for Killing Fairfax (Harper Collins) – an expose of the fortunes of Fairfax Media inspired by the huge rounds of redundancies and cuts that arrived at the media company after years of challenges to its newspaper business model.
Judges described Killing Fairfax as a detailed, insightful and powerful explanation of what happened when digital adventurers ambushed the traditional Australian media empires which had built what had been considered impregnable fortresses out of the revenue from newspaper advertising. The fortresses crumbled – and were hastily subjected to desperate reconstruction plans – as the digital interlopers gained strength, income and influence. As an investigative reporter at The Australian Financial Review, covering politics and the business world, Pamela Williams has won five Walkley Awards since 1994, including the Gold Walkley in 1998 for her coverage of the war on the Australian docks. She has also won the Graham Perkin Journalist of the Year award. She is the author of two best-selling books – the political campaign book, The Victory – on the rise of the Howard Government and the business book, Killing Fairfax, which detailed the collapse of the advertising model which had been the financial backbone of the Fairfax Media Empire.
This fascinating discussion will be hosted by Richard Aedy, host of ABC’s Media Report. Richard began his journalistic career in 1988 in New Zealand and has worked as reporter, producer, executive producer and presenter in three countries, including four years at the BBC in London. As a journalist, Richard has covered crime, aviation, industrial affairs, science, health, technology, education, economics, epidemiology, indigenous issues, social change and the media. He has made award-winning documentaries in Colombia, East Timor, the United States and the UK. After more than 20 years, he remains interested in everything. Richard is a former Reuters Foundation Fellow at Oxford, former presenter of The Buzz and he presented Life Matters from 2006 to the end of last year. He is a lifelong media junkie.

Photographic departments around the world are feeling the squeeze as news organisations cut costs and jobs. In an era of Twitpix and stock-image slideshows, professional photographers face competition from every smartphone and constant challenges to their copyright. But there’s no substitute for a professional photographer’s skill, timing and composition – and a still photograph can capture stories and intimacy beyond any other medium. There are still opportunities for photojournalists, and new models for supporting their work – and certainly no shortage of stories and moments to be captured around the world.
Joining Moderator Anne Davies, senior investigative journalist at the Sydney Morning Herald are:
Nick Moir, staff photographer for SMH. David Dare Parker, Walkley award winning free-lance photographer. Craig Greenhill, photojournalist at News Limited and multimedia specialist. Andrew Quilty, Walkley winner of the young Australian photojournalist of the year and freelance photographer.

In Egypt, Al Jazeera journalist Peter Greste and others have been arrested for reporting both sides of the story – and this is getting lots of attention, as it should. But what of media workers in South East Asia being routinely punished for questioning authority or putting forward an alternative point of view?
In Vietnam and Myanmar, journalists, bloggers and human rights activists are routinely jailed for their reporting. In Cambodia, journalists reporting stories counter to powerful interests have been assassinated and in the Philippines, journalists are often killed for doing their work, making it one of the most dangerous reporting environments in the world. In Thailand, there's a culture of media self-censorship over the monarchy: websites discussing politics are shut down by the government and laws like lese majeste and the computer crimes act are used to intimidate and punish journalists. And in Malaysia, the public discourse is controlled by state-owned media, which allows for little real political debate.

This Walkley Media Talk celebrated the diversity of story-telling and the many new platforms indigenous journalists and storytellers now have space on to tell their stories. The discussion examined the rise of indigenous media into the mainstream and new innovations in storytelling and the implications for coverage of indigenous affairs in Australia.

What makes people share content, and how can sharing drive media – and profit?
To mark the much anticipated arrival of BuzzFeed in Australia, the Walkleys hosted a special Storyology satellite event on the art and science of sharing.
The event began with a keynote address by vice president of Buzzfeed, Scott Lamb…. Followed by a Q&A with the host of Media Watch Paul Barry and a panel discussion with news.com.au’s Melissa Hoyer, Ninemsn’s Hal Crawford, and the Guardian Australia’s Katharine Viner.

A former Fairfax Media journalist, he is regarded as one of the world’s leading investigative journalists and is the first non-American director of the ICIJ, overseeing more than 160 member journalists in more than 60 countries.
It’s a cliché, but true stories are often stranger and more compelling than anything a novelist could invent! Celebrating the tradition of the great Australian story the Walkley Foundation’s longform program recognises the work of writers and documentary makers who not only tackle journalistic issues but provide important forums for discussion and debate.
For this episode, we bring you a conversation from the Walkley Foundation’s long form week featuring four 2013 Walkley award finalists from the book, documentary and radio categories who came together to discuss their nominated work and the craft of long form journalism.

Is the 'market' for news being set by audiences' tastes and expectations or the incentives and preferences of media organisations and journalists? Is it a cause for concern that 'worthy' news might attract small audiences or has it always been that way? Is our usage of the internet as a platform for news degrading or enhancing the quality of our public conversations? Many consumers of news are overloaded with information, but do they know less than ever about current events?

What affects have the use of social media platforms had on journalism? Does having direct and active relationships with the 'audience' change the way stories are chosen and told? Does this engagement represent a welcome corrective to the imperfect closeted journalism of the past or is it a threat to the quality of public knowledge and political participation? What are the implications of the rise of social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, as popular vehicles for sharing and distributing news?

How has the technological and economic disruption of the media business affected journalism’s ability to hold institutions accountable? Do newspapers and other traditional media organisations still play a dominant role in setting the public agenda? Are new media organisations, individual journalists, or other institutions (such as universities) capable of filling gaps created by resource cuts in traditional media organisations? Are some important subjects or communities affected by this deficit more than others? What is the appropriate role of citizens in the watchdog process? What are the implications for journalism of the current national security climate?

Have internet-enabled platforms for journalism amplified existing characteristics of the news media, such as partisanship and commercial pressures, rather than creating new challenges? Was journalism ever ‘objective’ and does it need to be in order to perform a useful function in society? What are the implications for citizens of a partisan or ideologically driven media? What does a ‘post truth’ environment mean for journalism and the political debate? Has public confidence in the rigour and usefulness of the news media declined in a permanently damaging way?

Barat is also nominated for a Nikon-Walkley Award for Feature/Photographic essay for his incredible collection of images documenting his journey from Afghanistan to Australia as a refugee.
Fleeing persecution in Kabul, Batoor travelled with 92 other passengers on a treacherous journey to Australia via Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia. Along the way, he shot images of his fellow passengers, capturing their fear and hope and anticipation of a new life. Sadly, many of the fellow travelers Batoor met never made it to safety.
Barat spoke to one of Australia’s most experienced photojournalists, director of photography at The Global Mail, Mike Bowers.

2013 has been a landmark year for Australian sport – unfortunately, not for the right reasons. In a year in which Manchester United has visited our shores, with back-to-back Ashes Test series and a captivating British and Irish Lions tour, the on-field spectacle has been overshadowed by off-field scandals. Stories about major drug investigations, corruption inquiries, racism and the ubiquity of gambling have dominated the blogs, the airwaves, the Twitter feeds and the front and back pages. Has Australian sport become dirtier, or have sports journos become better at hunting down scandal? How has social media changed how sport is reported? With the AFL and NRL hiring journalists and setting up their own media teams, how can we ensure we are getting the “real” story? In partnership with the State Library of New South Wales, we are delighted to bring you this fascinating and entertaining conversation between some of Australia’s brightest sports journalists discussing the craft of sports reporting. Your moderator for this discussion is ABC Grandstand’s Amanda Shalala and the panellists are Steve Mascord, sports reporter for Fairfax and Rugby League Week; Malcolm Conn, Walkley Award-winning head cricket writer for News Corp Australia; and Alex Brown, national head of sport at News Corp Australia & Fox Sports.
In partnership with BBC Knowledge and Sky News Australia, we are delighted to bring you a compelling and delightful interview with the fascinating Michael Mosley. Michael is a BBC presenter, best selling author, medical journalist and a ‘self-experimenter’.
Michael is perhaps best-known for his television programs on the workings of the human body that led to him being named 1995’s Medical Journalist of the Year by the British Medical Association.
Famously, Michael once swallowed a camera to find out more about the inner working of our intenstinal systems. More recently, he has been credited with popularising the 5:2 diet, after co-authoring the international best-seller The Fast Diet. It’s a regimen that he himself follows, eating what he wants to for five days a week, then restricting himself to just 600 calories a day. Since his book was published in January last year, it went straight to the top of the best seller list in the UK and has since been sold in 32 different countries.
In Australia to launch the What’s Your Body Hiding? season on BBC Knowledge – a special month of programmes screening throughout October on food, health and wellbeing, Michael spoke to one of Australia’s most experienced business journalists and host of the Perrett Report on the Sky News Business Channel, Janine Perrett.
As a multiple award-winning chief international correspondent and senior presenter for BBC World News television and BBC World Service Radio, Lyse Doucet knows better than most how to tell a powerful story that resonates across borders. Fearless and inspirational, Lyse is regularly deployed to anchor special news coverage from the field in crisis zones and after natural disasters. She also played a key role in the BBC’s coverage of the “Arab Spring” across the Middle East and North Africa. In this emotionally charged presentation delivered at the Walkley Foundation’s Storyology event, Lyse speaks movingly about what she has witnessed and the power of story in giving the vulnerable a voice. We are delighted to bring you this presentation from Lyse Doucet with the support of BBC World News Television and BBC World Service Radio.
