Abdi Hersi: Muslims are frequently subject of stories, infrequently sources for stories #newnewsau

— David Nolan (@djp_nolan) October 29, 2016

Often Muslim voices arent present in stories involving Muslims, eg mosque protests etc, when they should be sources says Dr Hersi #newnewsau

— Megan Toomey (@mc_toomey) October 29, 2016

There's lack of use of Muslim sources in the story,there are no Muslim voices and that is negligent Reporting says Dr Abdi Hersi #newnewsau

— Krati Garg (@colnols) October 29, 2016

Problematic when voices of Muslims are absent from stories about “Islam” #newnewsau

“Muslims want to be reported” – communities should be represented in the media – but reporting can be inaccurate #newnewsau

— Claudine Chionh (@claudinec) October 29, 2016

So true that you can't report on a topic unless you know at least the basics of the topic #newnewsau #media #journalism #beinformed
