Indigenous languages in the media — Conversations from Storyology

When was the last time you heard a story about Torres Strait Islanders or aboriginal people being told IN an Indigenous language? We in the media need to work out what role these languages can play in telling the stories of Indigenous communities. Five brilliant Aussie storytellers talk about it: Allan Clarke is the indigenous affairs reporter at BuzzFeed Australia. Lionel Lovett is a Wiradjuri language teacher at Parkes Public School in western New South Wales. Solua Middleton is a producer for ABC Open on the Gold Coast. And Bruce Pascoe is writer and director at First Languages Australia. Jade Christian, commissioning editor at NITV, moderated. Conversations from Storyology is a WalkleyTalks podcast miniseries with all the best bits from our 2016 journalism festival. The podcast is produced by Kate Golden for the Walkley Foundation at the 2SER studios in Sydney, Australia. This episode was edited by Ninah Kopel. Music is "Puzzle Pieces" by Lee Rosevere.
