Indigenous and cultural diversity in some parts of Australian television news has increased marginally over the past two years, according to a "report card" by Media Diversity Australia (MDA).
However, the report Who Gets to Tell Australian Stories? 2.0 produced in partnership with the University of Sydney and University of Technology Sydney and released today found journalists from an Anglo-Celtic background remained "vastly over-represented" on TV screens.
Lead academic Dimitria Groutsis, from University of Sydney's Business School, said the industry still did not represent the Australian audience.
