For the Record: 160 years of Aboriginal print journalism

by Michael Rose

Aboriginal culture is often seen to be based on oral traditions, yet there is also a long tradition of print journalism stretching back 160 years. The author has collected examples of Aboriginal journalism, ranging from the Flinders Island Chronicle handwritten by Aboriginal clerks in 1837, to Abo Call in 1938, the militant newspapers of the 1960s, 1970s as well as current publications.
