Part 1/9:

Inside the ABC: A New Leadership Approach and Ongoing Bias Issues

The Political Leanings of the ABC: An Increasingly Contested Issue

Recently, a revealing exchange took place on ABC Darwin, featuring the public broadcaster’s relatively new Managing Director, Hugh Marks. Formerly of the Nine Network, Marks made an appearance to discuss the perceived ideological direction of the ABC, particularly the criticism that it leans too far to the left or has adopted a ‘woke’ stance. This discussion touches on a broader debate about whether public broadcasters are adequately representing diverse viewpoints or whether they are inadvertently, or intentionally, promoting a specific worldview.
