Sky News, The Australian and the Daily Telegraph used a photo of dancers in the Miriki Performing Arts group during a children's festival for a story on sexual abuse of Indigenous children last year.
An Indigenous performing arts group has received an apology from three News Corp outlets for using a photo in an unrelated child sexual abuse story.
The picture was used without permission, and was taken in 2019 of performance Jina's Journey during the annual Cairns Children's Festival. "These children's images were used nationally in a story about the sexual abuse of children … a story they had no connection to whatsoever," Ms Lampton said in a statement.
"This incident illustrates how media outlets often approach the depiction of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people: with no respect for context or the real people behind the pictures."The apologies were issued at 7pm on Friday on the organisation's websites and Sky News Facebook and X social media pages.
