Engagement with communities can encompass any topic; for example, a health story might involve interviewing a doctor of African descent without needing to discuss their cultural background or link it to race. Cultural engagement and inclusive storytelling should be the responsibility of all journalists and staff, as it is essential for accurately reflecting and representing contemporary Australia.
