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 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.

Perhaps the following article signals an end to this era and a move to more balanced reporting? Only time will tell.


Leaked emails confirm climate change questions

  1. Perhaps the reaction to a whiff of "'climate-change"" reality may not be quite as extreme as murder, as one comment in this article suggests, but the usual non-reporting is sure to continue.
