About the research:

Released in early 2020, Does the media fail Aboriginal political aspirations? 45 years of news media reporting of key political moments<http://s.bl-1.com/h/cYXwS2o5?url=https://www.aboriginalaffairs.nsw.gov.au/new-knowledge/completed-research-and-evaluation/does-the-media-fail-aboriginal-political-aspirations(ePDF).pdf> reviews mainstream print media of 11 key moments in Aboriginal political life, finding approaches to telling stories that range from sympathetic stalling to patronising parodies.



The study was conducted by Amy Thomas, Professor Heidi Norman, and Professor Andrew Jakubowicz, with contributions from Lorena Allam, Alison Whittaker, Amy McQuire and Dr Anne Maree Payne.



It was commissioned by Aboriginal Affairs NSW as part of the OCHRE commitment, which aims to fundamentally change the relationship between government and Aboriginal communities, from unilaterialism to bi/multi-lateralism.



By understanding how the media has engaged with Aboriginal political aspirations over time, we can better understand how to shift public dialogue and achieve meaningful agreements between Aboriginal peoples and government.

Agreement-making is at the heart of OCHRE<http://s.bl-1.com/h/cYXwSxP3?url=https://www.aboriginalaffairs.nsw.gov.au/our-agency/staying-accountable/ochre/the-ochre-plan/%2F> — the NSW Government’s community focused-plan for Aboriginal affairs which is committed to transforming the relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the Government.



As the fourth pillar of our democracy, media plays a central role in providing the public with information, creating public awareness and shaping public opinion. Media provide the conditions that support or hinder open, respectful and well-informed discussions about agreement-making with Aboriginal communities. The individuals and institutions that government seeks advice from including Ministers, public officials, industry bodies and researchers are not immune to the discourses.
