Media Framing

The Aborigine people don’t have much of a positive image on television, the media easily and quickly modify their reports of the Aborigine issues towards stereotypes; often making the Aborigine people angry. When being talked about, the Aborigine’s are shown as lazy, violent, and somewhat savage like; news outlets often use irrelevant images of the Aborigines to either inflate news or create faulty news. These false accusations and exaggerated images of the Aborigine people often leave non-Aboriginal Australians terrified of the seemingly harmless communities.
