Publisher’s description:
Black Witness showcases how journalism can be used to hold the powerful to account and make the world a more equitable place.

Amy McQuire has been writing on Indigenous affairs since she was 17 years old. Over the past two decades, she has reported on most of the key events involving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, including numerous deaths in custody, the Palm Island uprising, the Bowraville murders and the Northern Territory Intervention. She has also exposed the misrepresentations and violence of the mainstream media's reports, as well as their omissions and silences altogether in regards to Indigenous matters.

This book is a searing indictment of the media's failures in reporting Indigenous affairs - and a powerful corrective that shows how Black journalism can pave the way for equality and justice.
