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 its our ABC.

Our Aunty's too fat to mention

A week off including a day in the snow at Selwyn. Here's some commentary from John Roskam that rings true...

Aunty looms too large
"The ABC is cutting up and eating Fairfax and News’s lunch. It’s not Gina Rinehart and Rupert Murdoch that journalists should be worried about. It’s Mark Scott, the boss of the ABC, they should fear."


"Media concentration in Australia is all going one way – and it’s in the direction of the ABC."
