Rhianna Patrick (Bachelor of Arts (Journalism) ’99) is a force to be reckoned with. As a Torres Strait Islander media professional with 19 years’ experience at the ABC, and recently as the Head of Audio and Podcasting at IndigenousX, she has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to reporting on issues that matter.
Ms Patrick is fiercely passionate about representing Indigenous peoples in the news and sat down with Contact to share some insights into independent news reporting, understanding what makes a ‘good’ journalist, and how to ‘be the change’.
