This project argues for a new form of scholarly journalism, grounded in conceptions of Black Justice, as a critical intervention needed to address the ongoing media misreporting of Indigenous affairs. Through an innovative methodological approach combining scholarship, journalistic practice and archival research, the research agenda will seek to understand the role of the media in sustaining and entrenching settler colonialism. It will interrogate the field of journalism ethics, arguing that accepted norms of journalistic practice compound harm and restrict the voices of Black Witnesses. In doing so, it will aim to build an ethics of practice in the form of Black Justice Journalism which will be disseminated to the Indigenous media sector.","funding-current":526509.00,"funding-at-announcement":522333,"investigators-current":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Amy","familyName":"McQuire","roleName":"Discovery Early Career Researcher Award","roleCode":"DECRA","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":null}],"investigators-at-announcement":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Amy","familyName":"McQuire","roleName":"Discovery Early Career Researcher Award","roleCode":"DECRA","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":null}],"organisations-current":[{"organisationName":"Queensland University of Technology","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"QLD"}],"organisations-at-announcement":[{"organisationName":"Queensland University of Technology","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"QLD"}],"field-of-research":[{"isPrimary":false,"code":"440204","name":"Crime and Social Justice","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":true,"code":"4501","name":"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Culture, Language and History","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"450109","name":"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Literature, Journalism and Professional Writing","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"450599","name":"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, Society and Community Not Elsewhere Classified","type":"FOR20"}],"socio-economic-objective":[{"code":"210102","name":"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Development and Wellbeing","type":"SEO20"},{"code":"210301","name":"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Determinants of Health","type":"SEO20"},{"code":"280123","name":"Expanding Knowledge In Human Society","type":"SEO20"}],"international-collaboration":["Canada","Mexico","United States of America"],"lief-register":[],"achievement-summary":null,"national-interest-test-statement":"The field of journalism ethics is in a continual state of contestation in the midst of the changing media landscape and emerging digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). Despite this, Indigenous media continues to play an important and vital role in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, acting as\na mode of self-determination and as a voice speaking back to dehumanising and disempowering media representations. This project builds upon existing scholarship by incorporating the critical role of journalistic practice, and specifically, the practice of Indigenous journalists and media practitioners. Its central aim is to build a\nresearch agenda of Black Justice Journalism with a focus on reporting on violence, specifically gendered violence as a preventative measure. It does this through examining the historical archive to understand how the media's role in reproducing violence through representation, outlining the role and legacy of black media in Indigenous activism, and drawing upon this to consider how Indigenous media can continue reporting ethically, in pursuit of justice, in the midst of continual journalistic debates on ethics. The research will be disseminated to other Indigenous journalists, and in resources to train mainstream newsrooms, and will also be a critical intervention in scholarship on journalism ethics and practice by centering the voices and testimonies of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people."}}}
