This report outlines the Australian Human Rights Commission’s key findings.
It also identifies three key opportunities for the media industry and age sector to take a collaborative approach to improving the accuracy, quantity, and quality of coverage about older Australians and the issues that affect and matter to them.
The three opportunities identified are a call to action for the media and age sectors to work together to:
improve media access to relevant spokespersons and subject-matter experts
provide resources and staff training to increase industry awareness about ageism and strengthen editorial standards reporting on age-related matters
combat ageism and shift the narrative on ageing, both within the media industry and in the wider community
