  • 2010-2011 Annual Report (“The Report”) Annual Report and for the Collection and Presentation of Covering the Period 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011
    join the conversation Annual Report 2011 This year’s annual report explores the ways that the ABC enables Australians to share, debate and engage in the national conversation. It demonstrates how the ABC is fulfilling its Charter by providing access to programs and platforms so that more Australians than ever can join Heather joined the conversation. Heather Thomas Ballarat Victoria Photographed by Marc Eiden, ABC Open producer Ballarat the conversation. IN 2010 –11, THE ABC continued to provide new and innovative ways for Australians to join the national conversation. ABC content was created and shared on-air, online and on mobile platforms. Audiences were enabled by social media and new technology to access and be a part of ABC content: the twitter feed on Q&A enabled audiences to interact with live panel discussions; apps on smartphones and tablet devices connected audiences with content on-the-go; audiences were kept up-to-date on their favourite programs via facebook; YouTube provided audiences with a sneak-peak at Angry Boys; video was contributed to Hungry Beast and shared with the world on the program’s website. The national conversation is a particularly important one for communities during times of emergencies. The ABC served a vital function not only in broadcasting accurate and timely information, but in helping communities recover in the months that followed. ABC Open is part of that lifeline, providing opportunities for stories to be shared, and communities to connect. Many of those stories are highlighted throughout this report. As the conversation space is changing, the ABC is a place where Australians are able to join in and be a part of that change.
