Reema Rattan talks to senior editor at NITV Jack Latimore and Heidi Norman, Professor of Australian Aboriginal Political History at UTS and one of the editors of 'Does the Media Fail Aboriginal Political Aspirations? 45 years of news media reporting of key political moments' (2019) about how the Australian media ignores the voices of First Nations peoples in news coverage. Using Norman's book as a launching point, this programs examines the reasons and justifications for this historical absence and whether we can expect change in the near future.
