Welcome to 2011

As ABC's silly season continues, a ~~warm~~ wet welcome to 2011. A few changes this year, less frequent posting but hopefully enough to keep the pot simmering.

Coming posts will reveal ABC's leech, IPCC corrections and discuss issues surrounding moderation on ABC blogs.

We wish readers a great 2011.

Less frequent posting is OK as long as your usual high standard keeps up. Happy New Year

Aim of ABC NEWS WATCH

In a diversifying media landscape news editors face an increasingly difficult challenge reviewing the work of reporters under their supervision. Inevitably some mistakes, errors and substandard articles slip past their critical eyes.

The simple aim of ABC NEWS WATCH is to publicise the errors, omissions, and substandard reports produced by the News service and related entities of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). In doing so we hope to provide an independent check or audit on ABC news articles and in doing so improve the standard of ABC news reporting. After all it's our ABC.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the actions, sacrifice, wisdom, traditions, mistakes and curiosity of our ancestors. Their collective efforts over centuries helped evolve our western civilisation, giving birth to the liberal society that makes this website possible.
