"Local" ABC radio encourages law and orders fear
ABC TV news has it’s failings but the push to “localise” radio is leading to local law and order panic.
Melbourne Radio news now leads and often contains little else than the daily police briefings - burglaries and home invasions, gang violence and brawls, car accidents and chases, stabbings, suspicious fires, and deaths. There is no context or comparison with other times, months or years, leading to possibly misplaced fear and loathing. The ABC must do better.
