ABSTRACT
The fortnightly Koori Mail is the first Aboriginal newspaper to make a sustained attempt at comprehensive coverage of Aboriginal matters around the country, a national distribution, and commercial viability. In the first year or so of publication, theKoori Mailhad more by-lined articles by Aboriginal people than it has had in the more recent past. Apart from current issues, the Koori Mail will carry a range of features, personality profiles highlighting Koori achievements, book and film reviews, childrens pages and sport. The Koori Mail wishes to acknowledge the valuable assistance provided by The Northern Star so that the people could take our first step, and the help provided by John Muldoon, of Lismore Enterprise Development Agency, and the Koori Mail staff. The future dream is an Aboriginal paper with Aboriginal people trained in all aspects of the print media. The Koori Mail is a unique, independent newspaper which examines may issues from a Koori perspective.
