Media Making Change newsroom training

Media Making Change newsroom training is for journalists and media professionals in the Northern Territory looking to better understand and prevent violence against women in their reporting.    

The media is a powerful driver of social change and can positively influence the culture, behaviours and attitudes that drive violence against women and their children. The media can change the widespread condoning of violence against women by reporting accurately, safely and respectfully.
