Budyeri kamaru (hello!) from Eora Country, We've had a jam-packed start to 2023 at Media Diversity Australia. Our newsletter is now going out quarterly, so we can focus on our expanding suite of impactful programs. We post regularly to social media, so follow us on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter for events, opportunities and announcements. We've been busy delivering our Summer Fellowships, Women of Colour Mentorships and more. As well as onboarding newsrooms who have joined up to our media membership model (welcome NewsCorp Australia, The Conversation Group and Private Media Group), and hosting statewide chapter events, including last month in the ACT with award-winning journalist, Peter Greste. We were delighted to be invited to participate in the Australian Press Council’s Sydney Round Table on 'Updating Advisory Guideline on Reporting of Race’ as well the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) consultation on a ‘news measurement framework’. We will also be presenting at the upcoming Australian Media Literacy Summit. A highlight on our calendar was welcoming MDA's Founder, Isabel Lo, back to Sydney from New York City for our annual Strategy Day. A heartfelt thank you to those who have been donating to our cause in Q1. We have a big year planned, so watch this space! Happy reading, Mariam Veiszadeh (CEO) and the Media Diversity Team
