About the SBS CQ Forum
In the context of heated national debates about asylum seekers
and
immigration, as well as the (predominantly polarising) commentary that
followed the announcement of this year's federal multiculturalism
policy, it is timely to host a discussion on the media’s role in these
debates and in reflecting Australian diversity.
SBS CQ seeks to feed into this space with intelligent debate, new
perspectives on our media environment. In this forum media
practitioners, academics, politicians, community advocates and
commentators reflect on how media shape and represent our views and
values.
