"Stan Grant, a well-known Aboriginal journalist and soon-to-be former host of
Q+A, has made a stand against racist abuse, saying he is “stepping away” from
the media industry. Grant said he’s paid a heavy price for being a journalist
and has been a media target for racism.

As authors of a recent Media Diversity Australia report investigating online
abuse and safety of diverse journalists, we’re not surprised.

Grant was one the few diverse journalists employed in the Australian media
industry. Yet his story of relentless racial abuse is one shared by other
journalists who are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, culturally and
racially marginalised, LGBTQIA+ and/or living with disability."
