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.

In 2012

A belated Happy New Year from ABC NEWS WATCH.

Last year, following a change in ABC's complaint handling process, we passed on a number of unsatisfactory responses onto ACMA but are still awaiting a response. Hopefully the slow wheels of the bureaucracy will turn over and we'll get a response.

This year will see us continue our focus on ABC's climate change and environment reporting that for some time has been marked by activism over sound journalism.

Missing this year will be pictures from ABC's environment news portal. ABC finally seem to have fixed the glitch that provided such a rewarding mismatch of images and headlines.

Wishing readers all the best for the coming year.
