Hopefully they'll reverse course on their rapid decline into being like every other media outlet in the country, but I'm far from hopeful.

I'm interested to know more about what you mean by this.

The ABC has been in a slide toward much lower quality for a long while and I'd hope it reverses

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What do you define as "lower quality"?

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Clickbait titles, primarily.

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah, the ones in the main feed are often terrible. What makes it even more annoying is the (what I would consider) real article titles that are behind a click are generally much better.

Does this mean the articles will read less like a tabloid and more like news again?

Great opportunity to slide in another ex-Murdoch plant to further sabotage the ABC from the inside.
