Michelle Guthrie pushes ABC’s international reporting credentials
Michelle Guthrie has pushed the role of the ABC on reporting on international matters, while also taking aim at “new wave media companies” in what appears to be a swipe at Buzzfeed at the Lowy Institute Media Awards tonight.
Guthrie, who presented the keynote address at the Awards’ dinner, said in a world in which “consumers hold the power” it has become important for the ABC to find new ways to connect and ensure that the ABC and the ABC Charter are relevant to its audience’s lives, every day.
“Consumers today hold the power, instantly demanding information and entertainment from anywhere in the world. They demand a seamless audience experience and expect a constant improvement in that experience,” she said.
This line says it all:
““Yes, it is possible to go straight to the New York Times website for the latest Donald Trump outrage or to London’s Financial Times for the next Brexit development,” she said.”
Where’s the reference to “the latest Clinton corruption”? No, of course not. Not just because of the NYT’s vested interest in Clinton’s continued corruption. Because it’s the ABC in lock-step with the Left, abandoning all pretence at impartiality, right from the top.
Didn’t take her long, did it?
OK. Who at Mumbrella forgot to the door and let the loonies in?
Commos everywhere, eh Mike?
