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.

What's Outback?

Looking over ABC's News site I noticed the following headline "Great Barrier Reef put on ice in Outback"

When you think about the Outback do you picture:
A. The arid plains fringing Australia's desert centre
B. The large areas of land in Australia that are not used for growing crops and are far away from any city or town.
C. The vast open plains east of Yalgoo?
D. Anywhere west of Balmain?
E. Dubbo?
