Abstract
The Australian news media provide an important lens through which we see ourselves and our nation: they both reflect and influence public discourse and priorities. This analytical toolkit to support media analysis was developed as part of a snapshot study which critiques the inclusion and representation of young Australians (aged 4-18 years) in the news. A sample of national, state and regional Australian news media from a single day was analysed and the findings from this study suggest that young people are seldom given the opportunity to speak for themselves in the news. To encourage researchers, teachers, students, youth-focused organisations and young people to use this toolkit to carry out their own analysis of news media in local, regional or national contexts, the study’s methodology has been released as a toolkit.
