Complaint: An online reader complained that a story ‘Climate change drives bears to cannibalism, conservationists say’ failed to include reference to an alternative explanation to the bears’ behaviour.
Audience and Consumer Affairs response: The ABC agreed that the report failed to achieve balance. The report was updated to include the reaction of an Inuit spokesperson to the claims. A complaint handling breach was also recorded as a response was not provided to the complainant within sixty days.
