85% of media workers from diverse backgrounds face abuse

New research has found that many media workers from diverse backgrounds experience harassment and abuse. The findings have revealed discrimination and abuse is increasingly directed at Indigenous, culturally and linguistically diverse and disabled journalists, as well as those who identify as queer or transgender. The abuse often appears online - but it's also experienced within newsrooms themselves.
