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.

ABC find the Real Julia

ABC have found the real Julia! Photo evidence to boot.
Either that or they are:
A). Comparing the Australian PM with a Vietnamese Peasant
B). Comparing the Japanese people with a Vietnamese Peasant
C). Too lazy to take a few moments to select the appropriate image from ABC's extensive image library
D). All of the above.
We've asked ABC to confirm which one they wanted to imply when they juxtaposed the headline with our favourite ABC environment image. We also sent a copy to the PM's department.
 
 ABC Environment too lazy to find the right picture? Or perhaps they just don't give a shit.
We asked the PM's department the following question:
Can the PM's department please enquire whether the ABC were seeking to traduce the position of PM, or the Japanese people?

  1. No, I'm pretty sure that's the real Julia Marc.

    Wait a minute...yes...yes it is, and that's a carbon tax she's carrying.

    If you look closely you can see she's already dividing it up...
