The ABC and Australia's Future
The Towards a Digital Future discussion paper outlines the key issues facing public broadcasting, with a series of questions that include:
- How should the ABC fulfil its charter requirement to provide "comprehensive broadcasting services" in a multichannel, multiplatform media environment?
- Should the ABC Charter be amended to ensure it is relevant, looking forward to 2020?
- Are there opportunities for the ABC to use new delivery platforms such as broadband internet to more effectively provide universal access?
- What is the role of the ABC in promoting Australia's cultural identity?
- What role should the ABC play in provision of children's content and should there be a separate children's channel?
- How might the ABC use new technology and platforms to enable Australians to be informed at local and national level?
- Should the ABC expand its international services and if so, in what form?
- Is there scope for combining parts of the ABC and SBS operations to improve operating efficiencies, without compromising their separate identities?
