Blak, Loud and Proud<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This year\u2019s theme,\u00a0<\/span>Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0reflects the power of media of all kinds, including community media, to preserve and promote language and culture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201c”Blak, Loud and Proud” encapsulates the unapologetic celebration of Indigenous identity, empowering us to stand tall in our heritage and assert our place in the modern world. This theme calls for a reclamation of narratives, an amplification of voices, and an unwavering commitment to justice and equality. It invites all Australians to listen, learn, and engage in meaningful dialogue, fostering a society where the wisdom and contributions of Indigenous peoples are fully valued and respected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

51 First Nations<\/span>\u00a0organisations provide 158 community broadcasting services covering our capital cities to our most remote regional areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These services connect community to language, culture, community\u00a0<\/span>voices and music. Australians from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background are 37% more likely than the general population to listen to community radio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
