The Fallout at the ABC: A Crisis of Trust in Investigative Journalism The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has removed three more investigative programs associated with sacked reporter Mahmood Fazal, sparking a wider debate about the integrity of investigative journalism and media accountability.
This decision is the culmination of a months long scandal that has left many questions unanswered about Fazal's methods.
An internal review found that ABC verification policies concerning anonymous interviewees were not followed in three cases involving Fazal's work.
