| First Nations Media Australia on Census
|
|
|
| First Nations Media Australia has provided a case study for the upcoming Census, showing how we use Census data about communities to keep Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander people informed. The 2021 Census on August 10 is significant for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It marks 50 years since Indigenous Australians were first officially counted in the Census in 1971, following the 1967 Referendum to include First Nations people in the national count. Our First
Nations media organisations are a well-known and respected source of essential information for our mob and play an important role in keeping listeners informed in some of the most remote parts of Australia, the health information on COVID-19 being an example of this. “Census data shows where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are and where communities are growing. We then look at whether people in that area have enough media services to keep them informed,” say Jennifer Nixon, Operations Manager at FNMA. “Understanding how many mob speak different languages in a region was used to target public health messages to those listeners.”
