Religion has ‘returned’ to news discourses, since 9/11, with a focus on Muslims and Islam and more recently on Catholicism (in the wake of paedophile priest scandals) and anti-Semitism (with the rise of the far-right movements). These news discourses, however, tend to adopt limited perspectives, and do not reflect the diversity of practices and viewpoints within these religious traditions. As Australia becomes increasingly ‘superdiverse’, there is a greater need for the inclusivity of cultural perspectives of these religions. Current research findings show that religious literacy among media practitioners in Australia is not only limited to specific notions about a small number of religions, it is exacerbated by an Anglo-Celtic dominance in the media workforce. This article suggests that for news media to provide a more culturally and religiously inclusive public service to promote societal understanding, current and emerging journalists require a more reflexive understanding of religions, through journalism studies and humanities more broadly, and how they have historically shaped the world, and continue to do so.

The sudden entrance onto the Australian media scene three years ago of a philanthropist bearing AUD 100 million was an innovative fillip for an embattled industry. The Judith Neilson Institute for Journalism and Ideas (JNI) has since announced some bold initiatives to strengthen reporting, including of international newsgathering in the Asia Pacific region. The JNI has enabled The Australian Financial Review to reopen its Jakarta bureau, Guardian Australia to hire a Pacific editor and develop a network of Pacific journalists, and The Australian to produce features on the Chinese diaspora. COVID-19 has caused significant challenges, but results indicate they have been successful in what they set out to achieve ‐ to carry out more international newsgathering from Asia. Other criteria, such as ‘the impact’ of this reporting, are harder to gauge. This article employs qualitative interviewing and content analysis to examine if these three case studies have been successful, according to the ‘five core principles’ of the JNI.

Two decades after Pierre Bourdieu published On Television and Journalism chronicling the decline of French public broadcasting and serious news, Australia’s national broadcaster, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), is in the throes of a similar decline. Besieged by a combination of funding cuts, allegations of political interference, pressure from the commercial media sector, nepotism and legislative frameworks at both federal and state levels that have sent a chill through Australian journalism, the ABC is facing challenging times. Through long-form interviews with journalists and senior bureau figures from the ABC Brisbane Bureau, this study seeks to gauge the extent to which the landscape for conducting public interest journalism in Australia has changed since 2018 and what the future of the ABC may look like.
