Congratulations to Dr Amy McQuire from QUT for being awarded a DECRA ARC grant for a project which argues for a new form of scholarly journalism, grounded in conceptions of Black Justice, as a critical intervention needed to address the ongoing media misreporting of Indigenous affairs.

Excited to start this project with the great Mathias-Felipe de-Lima-Santos. We will map data initiatives carried out by data and investigative journalists in five countries as public data purges and data access to digital platforms become sadly common. #JERAAResearchAward2025 @jeraaaus.bsky.social

New Zealand is at risk of developing “news deserts” – communities with little or no access to local journalism – according to Dr Gavin Ellis from the Koi Tū Centre for Informed Futures. News deserts weaken democracy, reduce social cohesion & increase misinformation.
