Media Diversity Australia (MDA) is launching the Women of Colour mentorship program supported and funded by the Crescent Foundation, in which Monash University and the University of Melbourne are partners. The aim is to empower female journalists from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds to attain leadership positions in Australian media. MDA will select 12 mid-career women journalists of First Nations and culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to participate in the mentoring program. Over 12 months, each mentee will be paired with an established media professional and receive in-person and online sessions to build their skills in leadership, presentation, compelling storytelling, and career development. This is an initiative to invite more women for their betterment.
