The paper seeks to:build a bridge between black and white Australiareporting the tough issues giving a "warts-and-all" look at indigenous affairs and mainstream Australiawork towards indigenous Australians' better access to education and access by non-indigenous Australians information on indigenous issuesThere is a belief that indigenous media tends to "go soft" on indigenous people or organisations in response to the history of discrimination as a protective response[citation needed]. There is also the perception that the mainstream Australian media tends to misreport indigenous affairs, whether through intent or ignorance, and regularly sensationalises indigenous issues[citation needed].In NIT's first two years, the vast majority of stories have reflected positively on indigenous people and organisations. But NIT has also broken major news stories on the corruption, bullying and fraud within Aboriginal organisations.Major news stories broken by the NIT include:stolen wages (won a Walkley Award)government staff anonymously representing themselves as independent witnesses in the Lateline report on child abuse in remote communities, with particular reference to Mutitjulu, Northern Territory.At the first Multicultural Media Awards September 2012, Gerry Georgatos, an investigative reporter with the National Indigenous Times received two awards; Coverage of Indigenous Affairs and Investigative Reporting and Feature Writing.
