The Walkley Foundation and Scanlon Foundation present - Media training: Inclusive reporting that represents Australia's diversitySession 4: Diversity and ethicsThis is the fourth and final session in a series of professional development webinars for Australian journalists to bring greater diversity and inclusion to their reporting, presented by the Walkley Foundation and the Scanlon Foundation. #4 focuses on diversity and ethics, with a conversation between Dr Hass Dellal AO, Russell Anderson and Juan Paolo Legaspi.Over the past decades, Australia’s diversity has increased considerably as has Australia’s pride in being a multicultural society. Similarly, over this time, our understanding of how to welcome diversity has progressed. We now have over 270 ethnic groups living in Australia, consequently our diversity is a strength to embrace and integrate into our thinking. With all the best will in the world, this integration creates ethical challenges. Whether this relates to the words that we use to describe cohorts of people, an understanding of cultural appropriation, representations through images or music or the risks of gross generalisations, we can’t afford to take decades to get this right.Hass Dellal has worked with multiple Federal and State governments throughout this time and has watched Australia’s progress in representation. Russell Anderson is the CEO at the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcaster’s Council (NEMBC), advocating for multiculturalism and media diversity. Juan Paolo Legaspi  is Vice President of the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council (NEMBC).  He works with community groups, government and non-government organisations to promote multiculturalism in the Australian media landscape. Join them for a discussion about the role of the media, ethics and diversity moderated by CEO of the Scanlon Foundation, Anthea Hancocks.

The Walkley Foundation and Scanlon Foundation present - Media training: Inclusive reporting that represents Australia's diversitySession 2: Engaging with communitiesThis is the second in a series of professional development webinars for Australian journalists to bring greater diversity and inclusion to their reporting, presented by the Walkley Foundation and the Scanlon Foundation. This session focuses on engaging with communities, with a conversation between Julie Szego and Jieh-Yung Lo.In this session we explore how media reporting and storytelling can encompass cultural nuance and the authentic representation of Australia’s cultural diversity. This is increasingly important, as evident by the challenges faced by Chinese-Australians (and, to an extent, Asian-Australians) in the context of Australia’s bilateral relationship with China and the COVID-19 pandemic. Julie Szego, in conjunction with advice from Jieh-Yung, recently wrote an extended essay focusing on the experience of the Chinese diaspora living in suburban Melbourne. Cultural storytelling by those from outside the community requires an awareness of one’s own cultural evolution and how that informs our views and interpretations.Hosting the webinar and moderating the Q&amp;A will be Media Diversity Australia representative and media, communications and advocacy professional, Akashika Mohla.

The Walkley Foundation and Scanlon Foundation present - Media training: Inclusive reporting that represents Australia's diversity.Session 1: The language of storytellingThis is the first in a series of professional development webinars for Australian journalists to bring greater diversity and inclusion to their reporting, presented by the Walkley Foundation and the Scanlon Foundation. This first session focuses on the language of storytelling, hosted by Walkley-winning feature writer James Button and featuring community and youth worker Nor Shanino.Storytelling is about listening and then getting out of the way so that the personalities and experiences can be heard. In this session, we’ll delve into the relationship between storyteller and source from both sides. James Button will share his approach and how humility is essential in allowing individuals to trust the storyteller. In 2020, James and Julie Szego participated in a Zoom roundtable with a diverse group of young people who grew up in the Flemington/Kensington Housing Commission Flats. Nor Shanino was a participant in the roundtable and has experienced multiple approaches by media representatives. He will share his thoughts on the keys to authenticity in reporting.The openness and willingness of the young people resulted in a publication that told the range of stories authentically. The initial roundtable was followed by individual interviews which were only possible through an acknowledgement of the value of their opinions. This isn’t always possible for news items but the investment in storytelling pays dividends when news needs to be told.Hosted by Antoinette Lattouf from Media Diversity Australia.
