‘There are important areas for improvement’: Kim Williams says ‘game on’ at the ABC
New ABC chairman Kim Williams is determined to steer the national broadcaster back on track, using his first public address to call for more public funding, and step out plans to uphold the ABC’s “purpose and intellectual ambition”.
In an address at the State Library of Victoria on Wednesday night, Williams shared plans for “a renewed Radio National”, scolded the broadcaster for its own self-congratulatory manner, and said that the national broadcaster should again become the “national campfire” as digital intrusion breeds divisive and disinformation.
“The trends are clear,” Williams said of the current state of the media.
@Nick Ross – corruption and vote rigging? By the ABC? Very curious to hear more about that.
If he’s not going to address the corruption, election rigging the cover-ups of the past then he and the ABC are just as rotten as they’ve been for the past 15-odd years.
