Sense of Belonging among Multilingual Audiences in Australia - Research paper
|
The University of Canberra and SBS have released the findings of a new joint research paper, Sense of Belonging among Multilingual Audiences in Australia.
|
The report now available, has revealed that multilingual audiences who feel represented in the news are more likely to feel a sense of belonging; and that those who feel they belong, in turn, are more willing to participate and engage in Australian society.
|
For audiences who see themselves represented in SBS News, the link with their sense of belonging appears to be stronger compared to audiences who feel represented in the news media more generally. This highlights the value of a multilingual, multicultural broadcaster in strengthening the belonging experience at a community level.
|
|
Conducted in six languages—Arabic, Cantonese, English, Italian, Mandarin and Vietnamese—the research aims to spark discussion about what can be done to foster a greater sense of belonging among multilingual communities. It demonstrates ways to accelerate belonging for the newest migrants to Australia, helping to ensure that everyone benefits from greater social inclusion.
