Funded Activity Summary

Vulnerability and the news media: Investigating print media coverage of groups deemed to be vulnerable in Australian society, and the media's understanding of their status. The media plays a major role informing society about itself. Today, there are considerable divisions within society, sometimes based upon misunderstanding, sometimes ignorance. This project seeks to break down those divisions by helping to train journalists to report knowledgeably on vulnerable groups. By developing protocols which journalists can adopt when reporting on vulnerable groups, the project will add to greater understanding within society about the positive contributions these groups make to the development of Australia and even to international relations.
