Importance of Truth-Telling and Journalism

Lorena Allam, an Indigenous journalist, discusses the significance of truth-telling and journalism in addressing the complex relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. She emphasizes that truth-telling is about developing a fuller picture of the nation's history and aims to provide a more accurate reflection of Indigenous views and issues. While journalism strives for objectivity, Lorena highlights the subjective nature of truth-telling, which allows different perspectives to be heard and promotes a better understanding of history and its implications.
