Living Black host, Karla Grant, said:
“At Living Black, we remain committed to sharing the stories of our people. We continue to give Indigenous peoples a voice across the country, and this year we’re also going global – interviewing international talent about issues that affect all First Nations peoples.
“I’m looking forward to a new season which features timely investigations and inspiring interviews.”
SBS Director of Indigenous Content and Birri and Guugu Yimidhirr woman, Tanya Denning-Orman, said:
“2023 was a massive year for NITV. It is more important now than ever before to highlight Indigenous peoples’ stories and engage in truth-telling. Living Black continues to do this through important investigations and by shining a light on our peoples’ lived experiences. It’s no wonder that Karla Grant and Living Black are synonymous with NITV and SBS.”
