Race Reporting Handbook

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.

The handbook contains principles and checklists for anti-racist journalistic and editorial practices, including recruitment for greater diversity in media workplaces and inclusive storytelling.

This resource has been put together in collaboration with Media Diversity Australia as part of community consultations and submissions in the scoping work of the National Anti-Racism Framework. The Framework identifies the need for more cultural safety, regulation and representation in Australia’s media landscape. 

The handbook is due to release on 3 October.
