Tools of Resistance : The Roles of Two Indigenous Newspapers in Building an Indigenous Public Sphere, Elizabeth Burrows , single work criticism

'More than 20 Indigenous newspapers were published in Australia between 1965 and 1989. This paper focuses on two of them - Identity magazine and The Koorier. Drawing on data gathered through a textual analysis of the publications, archival material and interviews with Indigenous media participants, this paper investigates the role these publications played in establishing and developing an Indigenous public sphere. Analysis of Identity magazine and The Koorier provides an overview of political activity within the sphere during this period. The paper argues these two publications demonstrate that the Indigenous public sphere was in transition at this time. Further, these publications were used by Indigenous participants to generate political activity, circulate messages through and beyond the Indigenous public sphere, and educate the broader Australian community.'

Journalism, Creative Non-fiction and Australia's Black History : 'The Tall Man' and Cross-cultural Source Relationships, Janine Little , single work criticism

'In early 2005 Chloe Hooper arrived at the Aboriginal community of Palm Island in Far North Queensland as a white writer from Melbourne. By 'walking the talk' - being with the Doomadgee family and their community through two coronial inquests into Mulrunji Doomadgee's death in custody - Hooper was given extraordinary access to a community, its history and the cultural nuance little understood by non-Indigenous readers, and not often shared with them. Focusing on Hooper's experience, particularly with her Aboriginal sources in Queensland, this paper will consider the comparative roles of journalism and creative non-fiction in conveying more of the complexities and realities of the Palm Island "riot" that ensued when Mulrunji died. It will suggest that Hooper's way of working helped subvert some dominant ideological news media representations of Australian Indigenous peoples because it privileged strong source relationships set in an extended narrative structure. The usefulness of creative non-fiction as a teaching device within journalism education is also considered through some reflection on a specific pedagogical experience.'
