  • Governing diversity through AI: DEI and procedural trust in public service media

    Open Access•Sarita Malik, Khorana et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of Cultural…•2026

    Public service media are adopting artificial intelligence at a moment when diversity, equity and inclusion policies are increasingly politicised. Drawing on comparative qualitative research in the United Kingdom and Australia, this article examines how AI is embedded within Public Service Media governance and platformised audience infrastructures. We argue that AI operates not merely as a technical tool but as a cultural and institutional logic t…

  • Shifting news values to value voice: The case of social housing residents in Australian news media throughout 2020

    Open Access•Deirdre Hynes, T Dreher•ARTICLE•Media International Australia•2025•References: 37

    Conventional news values are not well attuned to provide voice that matters for those who are socially marginalised, including residents of social housing in Australia. As a result, news media can legitimise and entrench inequalities and injustices. In this article we examine social housing resident voice in media reporting during the COVID-19 pandemic, identifying constraints on resident voice and indicating rarer instances where alternative mod…

  • Making public or quiet listening? Media logics and public inquiries into the abuse of children

    Open Access•Kerry Mccallum, T Dreher et al.•ARTICLE•Media International Australia•2025•References: 34

    This article examines the tensions between 'publicness' and 'privacy' in national commissions of inquiry. Through the insights of those who worked deep inside Australia's landmark Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (RCIRCSA, 2013-2017), and the evidence provided in its final report, we explore the organisational and media logics of the Commission's highly publicised public hearings, and the 'quiet' institutional l…

  • Overshadowed voices in media reporting on truth-telling commissions

    Open Access•Eli Skogerbø, Kerry Mccallum et al.•ARTICLE•Media Culture & Society•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 14

    Over the past decades, truth-telling commissions aimed at uncovering, confronting and providing justice for the past treatment of children have been established in many countries, including the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (RCIRCSA 2013-2017) and the Norwegian Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) (2018-2023). Journalism plays important roles both in triggering commissions of inquiry and in at…

  • From access and transparency to refusal: Three responses to algorithmic governance

    Open Access•Alexandra James, Deirdre Hynes et al.•ARTICLE•Internet Policy Review•2023

    This paper critically engages with key responses to algorithmic governance, including access and inclusion, transparency, and refusal. How can these responses effectively address the harms produced by algorithmic governance

  • Resistance, reclamation and repair: The Parragirls feminist archive and reparative media practices in the wake of institutional harm and media damage

    Open Access•Poppy De Souza, T Dreher•ARTICLE•Feminist Media Studies•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 21

    This paper engages with the creative strategies and media interventions of the Parragirls—a lose collective of women subject to punitive confinement and abuse as children in out-of-home “care” at the former Parramatta Girls Home—as a feminist archive of collective resistance, reclamation, and repair in the wake of institutional harm and media damage. We consider the Parragirls feminist archive in the context of a larger project analysing the role…

  • Enduring silence: Racialized news values, white supremacy and a national apology for child sexual abuse

    T Dreher, Lisa Waller•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2022

    This article examines news coverage of Australia's 2018 National Apology to Victims of Institutional Child Sexual Abuse to reveal how conventional news values and practices produce racialised hierarchies of media attention that routinely position whiteness at the pinnacle. Via content analysis of media coverage, informed by critical discourse analysis, we focus on whether news reporting of the Apology reflected the Royal Commission's stated commi…

    This critical commentary reflects on a rapidly mobilised international podcast project, in which 25 urban scholars from around the world provided audio recordings about their cities during COVID‐19. New digital tools are increasing the speeds, formats and breadth of the research and communication mediums available to researchers. Voice recorders on mobile phones and digital audio editing on laptops allows researchers to collaborate in new ways, a…

  • Racism and media: A response from Australia during the global pandemic

    T Dreher•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2020•Cited by: 4•References: 3

    Gavan Titley's book Racism and Media (2019) is a much needed and compelling intervention on this enduring topic. One of the many significant contributions of the book is to develop an account of racisms as multiple and contextually specific, and to advocate for situated arguments rather than abstract principals. In this response, I attempt to extend Titley's transnational and locally specific approach. In order to resist or complicate the potenti…

  • Media Hierarchies of Attention: News Values and Australia’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse

    Lisa Waller, T Dreher et al.•ARTICLE•Journalism Studies•2019•Cited by: 18•References: 7

    Australia’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (2013–17) was a highly significant legal exercise that devoted considerable expertise and resources to bearing witness and breaking silences surrounding child sexual abuse in all of its 57 case studies. In analysing the national media coverage we take a critical position to ask to what extent was this groundbreaking exercise in listening for justice reflected or ampli…

  • Shifting the terms of debate: Speaking, writing and listening beyond free speech debates

    T Dreher, Michael Griffiths et al.•ARTICLE•Continuum•2018

    When the alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopolous toured Australia in late 2017, he attacked familiar targets – Muslims, feminists and much of the mainstream media – as well as ridiculing Aboriginal

  • The ‘uncanny doubles’ of queer politics: Sexual citizenship in the era of same-sex marriage victories

    Open Access•T Dreher•ARTICLE•Sexualities•2017

    In this article, the author explores the challenges for sexual citizenship campaigns as same-sex marriage emerges as a touchstone for progressive politics in Australia and beyond. Analysing popular media and public debate, she argues that there is much to be learned from recent critiques of liberal and colonial feminisms. Jasbir Puar argues that the ‘woman question’ is currently being supplemented or supplanted by the ‘gay question’ as a marker o…

  • Mediatisation, Marginalisation and Disruption in Australian Indigenous Affairs

    Open Access•Kerry Mccallum, Lisa Waller et al.•ARTICLE•Media and Communication•2016

    This article considers how changing media practices of minority groups and political and media elites impact on democratic participation in national debates. Taking as its case study the state-sponsored campaign to formally recognise Indigenous people in the Australian constitution, the article examines the interrelationships between political media and Indigenous participatory media—both of which we argue are undergoing seismic transformation. D…

  • Indigenous voices and mediatized policy-making in the digital age

    This article explores the potential of emerging digital cultures for Indigenous participation in policy debates in the rapidly changing Australian media landscape. From the Zapatista's ‘netwar’ to the ‘hashtag activism’ of IdleNoMore, Indigenous people have pioneered innovative uses of digital media for global connectivity and contestation. Digital and social media open up unprecedented opportunities for voice, and, in theory, participation in de…

    This article explores how a listening approach might address the complex challenges of researching the relationship between Indigenous participation in media and mainstream policy-making processes. An overview of contemporary Indigenous media demonstrates how digital and social media have built on the vibrant and innovative Indigenous media tradition, and enabled a proliferation of new Indigenous voices. But do the powerful listen to Indigenous-p…

  • Climate Refugees or Migrants? Contesting Media Frames on Climate Justice in the Pacific

    T Dreher, Martin Voyer•ARTICLE•Environmental Communication•2014•Cited by: 28•References: 9

    Climate justice is rarely encountered in Australian media coverage of issues around climate change. The rare coverage of climate justice issues often focuses on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) such as Kiribati and commonly makes use of four main media frames: SIDS as "proof" of climate change, SIDS as "victims" of climate change, SIDS communities as climate "refugees," and SIDS as travel destinations. Yet these frames undermine the desire o…

  • A Partial Promise of Voice: Digital Storytelling and the Limits of Listening

    The continual rise of participatory media offers increasing opportunities for nonprofessionals and marginalised communities to tell their stories. In the policy arena, Australia's Social Inclusion Agenda and international debates on indicators of well-being name 'voice' as a key capability for social inclusion and individual flourishing. In this article, I engage recent scholarship on 'listening' and 'voice that matters' to highlight the limits o…

    Media research has generally focused more attention on analysing the 'problems' of media racism than on exploring possibilities for 'solutions' or change. In this article I introduce community media interventions as an under-developed and highly productive field of research into both the possibilities and the limitations of working for media change in the context of the 'war on terror' and the 'globalisation of the Muslim Other'. The opening sect…

    Headscarves in schools. Sexual violence in Indigenous communities. Muslim women at public swimming pools. Polygamy. Sharia law. Outspoken Imams on sexual assault. Integration and respect for women. It seems that around the world in the media and public debate, women s issues are at the top of the agenda. Yet all too often, support for women s rights is proclaimed loudest by conservative politicians intent on policing communities and demonising Mu…

    Pilot research on community conflict resolution, conducted in a local government area in southern Sydney in late 2006, revealed paradoxical findings: the simultaneous presence of both high levels of cross-cultural mixing and appreciation of the area's culturally diverse population; and the prevalence of prejudice against Arab and Muslim residents and visitors to the area.

    Open Access•T Dreher•ARTICLE•Media International Australia•2000•References: 6

    Television occupies a central place in most Australian homes, and 'TV talk' is an important process in negotiations of individual and group identities (Gillespie. 1995). TV is the focus of many private, family interactions. As a 'window on the world', television is also a primary source of information about public life. Thus TV is deeply implicated both in interactions within the home, and in our understandings of the wider 'home' of the nation. …

    In this article, the author explores the challenges for sexual citizenship campaigns as same-sex marriage emerges as a touchstone for progressive politics in Australia and beyond. Analysing popular media and public debate, she argues that there is much to be learned from recent critiques of liberal and colonial feminisms.

  • Racism and media: A response from Australia during the global pandemic

    T Dreher•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2020•Cited by: 4•References: 3

    Gavan Titley's book Racism and Media (2019) is a much needed and compelling intervention on this enduring topic. One of the many significant contributions of the book is to develop an account of racisms as multiple and contextually specific, and to advocate for situated arguments rather than abstract principals. In this response, I attempt to extend Titley's transnational and locally specific approach. In order to resist or complicate the potenti…
