Breaking silences: media and the Child Abuse Royal Commission

该项目旨在分析媒体、新闻业和社交媒体激进主义在皇家委员会对儿童性虐待的机构应对措施（2013-17）（RCIRSSA）中的作用。通过关注数字时代媒体与调查委员会之间的联系，该项目将调查迅速变化的媒体环境对这一全国“倾听”活动的影响。该项目将采用案例研究方法，批判性地分析过渡中的地方、国家和社交媒体在触发、报告和保持皇家委员会调查结果方面的作用，确保机构性儿童性虐待的受害者得到倾听，正义得到维护。

This project aims to analyse the role of media, journalism and social media activism in the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (2013-17) (RCIRCSA). By focusing on the nexus between media and commissions of inquiry in the digital era, the project will investigate the impacts of a rapidly changing media environment on this national 'listening' exercise. The project will use a case study approach to critically analyse the role of a transitioning local, national and social media in triggering, reporting on and keeping alive the findings of the royal commission, ensuring victims of institutional child sexual abuse are heard, and justice is upheld.
