"This is a time where there is a lot of pressure on the Muslim community," the head of the network, Malaz Majanni, told ABC news on Monday, March 16.
"Unfortunately, you do find that with the mainstream media, sometimes we are misrepresented, lost in translation and here we are able to make sure that a clear message is sent out," he said.
Majanni said the studio was funded by community donations and staffed by a team of more than 20 volunteers.
The project was endorsed by a wide range of prominent Muslim figures, including the grand mufti of Australia, Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohamed, and Associate Professor Mohamad Abdalla from Griffith University who appeared in a promotional video.
Known as a dawah initiative, the studio aims to spread the word of Islam among Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
Covering Muslim news in Australia, the new studio follows major events to provide its own take on them, including the Sydney siege.
