“Coming from Singapore where independent journalism is brutalised and severely restricted, the ABC’s excellent investigative show Background Briefing is refreshing.
While investigative stories may tend to lean towards more sensationalised “true crime”-style reporting, this show is professional, rigorous, and a source of credible journalism.
It’s shows like these that hold Australian businesses and the government to account on matters that may go unnoticed or unopposed, and having a platform like this gives an opportunity to learn about what goes on behind closed doors.
Hats off to the journalists working the show, and from now until forever, we need MORE FUNDING for the ABC! 😎”
