A proposed ABC staff climate crisis advisory group dismissed by ABC chair Ita Buttrose last year has been revealed to have pressed ahead regardless says Sky News host Chris Kenny. A freedom of information request by the Institute of Public Affairs has revealed hundreds of emails showing ABC Radio producer Barbara Heggen still organizing meetings for this group and still getting plenty of support." The group was planning to frequently report to management about how the ABC could tackle climate change internally and externally while also informing the public of the climate crisis through solutions journalism, effectively activism. It seems the trouble here is that too many at the ABC are getting their climate change information from the ABC. Image: News Corp Australia Read More Our Apps
