ABC Editorial Policies
The ABC belongs to the Australian people. Earning and retaining their trust is essential to fulfilling the ABC’s charter and its responsibilities under the ABC Act to provide innovative and comprehensive services of a high standard to Australian and international audiences. They recognise that ABC content must be created in a way that is respectful towards audiences and mindful of community standards in areas like harm and offence. Brave in reporting without fear or favour, even when that might be uncomfortable or unpopular; and Creative in finding new ways of telling Australian stories, reflecting Australian culture and sharing in the Australian conversation. By holding to the principles and standards contained in the Editorial Policies, the ABC seeks to be accountable to the Australian people who fund us.
