"Who Gets to Tell Australian Stories? 2.0 examines the Indigenous and cultural diversity of Australian news and current affairs television media. Who Gets to Tell Australian Stories? 2.0 compared results from the landmark report Who Gets to Tell Australian Stories (2020) to evaluate progress, identify the opportunities for improvement while also building on previous findings with new insights. Our findings show that overall Australian news and current affairs fail to represent the society they serve." (Page 3)
