A new study has found representation in news media shapes the sense of belonging multilingual audiences in Australia feel.
Key Points
- The report in collaboration between SBS Audience Research and the University of Canberra's News and Media Research Centre found confidence was a key to having a sense of belonging.
- It also said that time spent in Australia, and confidence in speaking English are underlying factors when it comes to feeling like part of the community - but it's not an automatic process.
- The research team hopes the study will spark discussion about what can be done to foster a greater sense of belonging among multicultural communities and accelerate it for the newest migrants to the country.
