About NAM

 

The Multicultural Media Exchange aims to:

1. Skill communities -  especially young people - to represent themselves in the media.

2. Improve the reporting of multicultural issues in the mainstream media.

3. Support the development of the multicultural media sector.

 

We run a mentor program for young people aged 18-25, offer media training and professional development, and are developing a project to promote diverse voices, sources, and opinions in the mainstream media.

 

Multicultural Media Exchange is a is a not for profit Incorporated Association, Incorporation number A0050820K.

 

This website hosts the work of young people from our mentor program. We match young people from new and emerging communities with professional journalist mentors, who provide support for the production of an original story. Some young people are newly arrived in Australia, and most have never written a story before.

 

We have partnerships with mainstream publications, and work to find an audience for these stories. Our partners include Leader Community Newspapers, The Big Issue, and The Age.

 

If you would like to be a reporter, or a mentor, please contact info@mme.org.au

 

Multicultural Media Exchange was originally inspired by New America Media. New America Media has been operating in California for many years, representing 600 ethnic media outlets and providing an online ethnic news service.

 

Multicultural Media Exchange gratefully acknowledges its Supporters - please see the Supporters page for details.
