Special Guests from The Queensland First Nations Media Coalition (QFNMC) Conference. QFNMC was officially launched in 2021, to address Close the Gap targets and provide a statewide integrated approach to Indigenous media. The body, consisting of 10 Indigenous media outlets statewide, was formed under the National Coalition of Peaks in direct response to several Closing the Gap target reforms. Such reforms are aimed to allow culturally relevant messages to be developed and shared by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and communities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Moving forward the QFNMC will strategically partner with Federal and State Governments and the relevant peak bodies on the next phase of Closing the Gap.Jyi Lawton, Queensland First Nations Media Coalition (QFNMC) Chair.Aunty Jody Currie, QFNMC Board Member.Renita Anderson, Triple A CEO, Triple A is a not-for-profit community-controlled multimedia organisation based in the heart of West End, Brisbane.
