ABC premieres iView only, audience-driven investigative program, Story Hunters

ABC has premiered a new style of investigative program direct to its online streaming service iView today.

‘Story Hunters’ follows a team of video journalists as they investigate stories around Australia.

The program is unique in that it offers audiences the power to make decisions on angles and content that will be pursued onscreen. The program will feature opinion pieces and satirical content as well as fact based reporting.

Executive producer Erin Vincent said that Story Hunters is “using social media to both initiate and engage with our story tellers, so we’re asking the audience to tell us what issues they want explored and investigated.”
