First on the Ground

Mainstream media has long been guilty of not giving enough exposure to Indigenous stories and failing to prioritise the voices of Indigenous reporters. In this podcast from the Stories Worth Telling series, hear from a panel of leading journalists as they celebrate excellence in Indigenous reporting around the world and consider what changes are needed to see better First Nations representation in leading media networks. Featuring Warlpiri journalist and co-host of NITV’s The Point Rachael Hocking, Anishinaabe and Polish Canadian journalist and All Our Relations author Tanya Talaga in conversation with Kamilaroi/Dunghutti journalist and co-founder of the Tiddas4Tiddas podcast Marlee Silva.

Stories Worth Telling is a series created by the Judith Neilson Institute for Journalism and Ideas and Sydney Writers’ Festival.
