Balanced reporting leads to death threats - and arrests - for @AJ101East staff, thanks to a "xenophobia-fueled" online lynch mob. #JournalismIsNotACrime #FreePress @withMEAA @ifjasiapacific https://t.co/dfsPGZqdTI

Outrageous move by Malaysian authorities targeting individual @AJEnglish staff for a @AJ101East documentary about migrant workers in Malaysia - hope you guys are all OK. #JournalismIsNotACrime @withMEAA

So depressing. Plenty of government support for tradies, but it seems Australia is happy to watch its intellectual and cultural capital drain away. https://t.co/RW5xthz98O

Heartbreaking story by @rebekahhlt - longing for the day our government stops treating immigrants with unspeakable cruelty. @ASRC1 #refugees #asylumrights

If this is the beginning of a great reckoning, bring it on. I’m horrified, and ashamed, to hear what my Indigenous colleagues had to endure. SBS of all places should have been - needed to be - better than this. Ignorance is no excuse. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you.

It's always open season for racists, thanks to this vile man. I just spoke to a skilled migrant who missed the birth of his first child bc of COVID-19 border closures & won't speak to the media any more bc of the racist abuse his wife & kids are subjected to online when he does.

Hi all, I'm resigning, with @beckavanagh, as an emerging book critic for @theage/@smh, an initiative generously funded by @CopyrightAgency and @JN_Institute. The selection of all-white critics fails to reflect Australia's cultural diversity. Our full statement is below. (1/3) https://t.co/77Rz4WGE4W

We should all be doing more. We can't produce responsible journalism unless we reflect the diversity of our communities.

The burden shouldn’t be left to our Indigenous colleagues. All @abcnews reporters need to start speaking up and calling for greater change. And we need our EPs & management to try harder @sclark_melbs @TheLyonsDen @gavmorris

Are white journalists listening to what our Indigenous colleagues are telling us? It's high time we spoke up - we're part of the problem if we don't @abcnews @9NewsAUS @7NewsAustralia @smh @theage @newscorpaus @meadea #Insiders #diversity #diversitymatters #BlackLivesMatter

I woke up a little heartbroken this morning. Like every blackfella in every workplace, you get so tired of raising this, and it’s not easy to always be the angry person and do your actual job at the same time. We need all of our colleagues showing up and pointing out the gaps.
