“Not only does MDA add and change the direction of discourse in our industry for the better, but they implement systemic changes that will benefit the future of media and the future of so many young journalists.”

“Working with Media Diversity Australia gave me a greater understanding of the need to seek out diversity and that people from diverse backgrounds don’t apply for jobs here if they don’t see themselves represented. Our 10 News First Perth newsroom hosted a summer intern through MDA. Hearing a young, hopeful journalist express how they never imagined being on a commercial station was eye-opening. Our intern brought us a new perspective and genuinely enriched our newsroom, she was also very talented. The whole experience was incredibly worthwhile.”

"With a long-renowed reputation for producing some of the industry's finest journalists, AAP's commitment to diversity has been supercharged by its association with Media Diversity Australia, a vital resource for recruitment and education strategies."
