The Australian Human Rights Commission release handbook to shake up reporting on race

The Australian Human Rights Commission, in partnership with Media Diversity Australia, has produced the Race Reporting Handbook aimed to help overcome misrepresentation and stereotyping in the media.

From reporting on First Nations people to racism in newsrooms, the handbook includes tips to overcome inequality.

Race discrimination commissioner Giridharan Sivaraman said the media has the power to decide who tells stories, whose stories are told, and how they are told.
