ABC reporting on Syria – editorial bias
With respect, I think Susan Dirgham’s complaint to the ABC, mainly targeting Eric Tlozek’ s reporting, is a little unfair. It is a bit much to expect a reporter on the ground in Syria, reporting on the immediate situation, but limited to less than five-minute slots on the TV news, to provide as detailed a commentary as Ms Dirgham expects.
Her own perspective is longer, derived from her years of living and teaching in Damascus, and she rightly thinks the subject deserves more background and analysis. It’s a job for an hour long Foreign Correspondent or similar, on both TV and Radio National. Where are the ABC’s inspired programmers of yesteryear?
