The handbook offers essential guidance for newsrooms, providing practical strategies for improving diversity and inclusivity in journalism.
The Race Reporting Handbook addresses how to combat structural and systemic racism in Australia's media landscape. It emphasises an anti-racist approach to reporting to assist media professionals in building stronger community connections and adopting more inclusive editorial policies.
