About Dr Victoria Fielding
Dr Victoria Fielding (nee Rollison) is an academic, independent media commentor and activist.

She has developed a theory of media inequality which explains structural media bias in news reporting of industrial, political and social contestation. In her honours thesis, Victoria studied the influence of mining tax narratives on mainstream news media.
