In this episode, Caroline is joined by Naomi Moran, CEO of the National Indigenous Newspaper, the Koori Mail. Naomi is a proud Bundjalung and Djangadi woman. Generations of her family have lived on Cabbage Tree Island in Yangaboar country, and she also has strong roots in Kempsey country.  She started her career in black media, where at the age of 14 she made the decision to leave school and begin a traineeship at the Koori Mail in 1988. Fast Forward to now, she’s the CEO of this media outlet, which is 100% Aboriginal owned and self-funded.



In this episode, Caroline and Naomi yarn about the importance of black media in telling the stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and how it’s vital in breaking the stigmas, bias and stereotypes that plague western media outlets.  Naomi talks about balancing running  a media company with motherhood, and how by educating her son about his heritage she’s helping to inspire the next generation to tell the stories of their people.
