Close to the Subject: Daniel Browning in Conversation with Larissa Behrendt

Is the Australian media driven by a racist metanarrative? By simply exposing horror and dysfunction, has journalism failed to represent First Nations communities, ventilating racism, moral panic and outright lies in the process?

A conversation with Bundjalung and Kullilli journalist, radio broadcaster and writer Daniel Browning, whose first book, Close to the Subject outlines a strengths-based approach that might just silence the white noise. Close to the subject, published by Magabala Books, will be launched by Executive Director Artspace, Alexie Glass-Kantor.
