ABC News Canberra introduces Indigenous Acknowledgement of Country in news bulletins
ABCThe ABC's Canberra News is breaking new ground by introducing an Acknowledgement of Country in its nightly bulletin out of respect for the local Indigenous community. As part of our ongoing commitment to Indigenous recognition, the ABC is partnering with the United Ngunnawal Elders Council and pays respect to them — the first people of this land. "Last year, we collaborated with Ngunnawal Elders to record language idents for our local radio presenters, which we launched in NAIDOC Week, and they have been on a daily rotation ever since," said Canberra editor Michelle Ainsworth. "During one of our local Indigenous working group meetings, our senior editor Jan Pritchard asked why we didn't also acknowledge Ngunnawal Country at the start of our evening news.
