WHY DO KOORI ORGANISATIONS NEED TO LEARN ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS?
Indigenous businesses could reach out to much wider markets, including an international market, if they gained more publicity. While some Indigenous businesses tend to target Indigenous media, some great success stories and important indigenous issues do not reach the mainstream media. This means that many people who are interested in their products or issues are not being reached. It also means that the majority of Indigenous stories making it into the mainstream media are the negative ones - Koori Communications will assist Indigenous businesses and organisations by effectively lobbying their point of view to media and government bodies.

WHY KOORI COMMUNICATIONS?

We would like to see more positive images of Koori people in the papers. We have set up Koori Communications to empower Koori people to be able to represent their needs and point of view in the media and anywhere else it needs to be heard.

WHY USE THE WORD KOORI VS ABORIGINAL?

Many Aborigines dislike the terms 'Aborigine' since this term was foisted on them by the English, who used the expression aborigine deriving from the Latin, meaning original inhabitants. English colonists also used Latin to characterise the legal status of the country as terra nullius, literally, the land of no one... Not surprisingly, the original inhabitants preferred to use a word from their own local language. Some languages of south-east Australia had a word- coorie, kory, kuri, kooli - which meant person or people. In the 1960s koori came to be used by Aborigines of these areas as a means of identifi cation. But because of the wide variety of Aboriginal languages and cultures, koori has not gained Australia-wide acceptance, being confined to most of New South Wales and to Victoria.
