Media Responsibility
The media is the main supplier of these simplified views and a distributor of stereotypes.
• How many times did you read about a dysfunctional, violent Aboriginal community?
• How many times have you seen an image of drunk Aboriginal people getting into trouble?
The media forms and reinforces Aboriginal stereotypes, by concentrating on ONE group of Aboriginal people, who
are largely a minority.
