The ABC newsroom has faced criticism and complaints regarding its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, with allegations of impartiality and bias. The issue was discussed during Senate Estimates, revealing a divided opinion among the newsroom directors.
The ABC newsroom has become “divided” over its Israel-Hamas war coverage with its directors facing tough questions in Senate Estimates , according to Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton. ABC Editorial Director Gavin Fang revealed thousands of complaints had been lodged against the ABC for its coverage of the conflict.
"About 58 per cent of those (3000-plus) complaints have been largely about impartiality and bias … those complaints have alleged that we have been pro-Israeli or anti-Palestinian and about 41 to 42 per cent have been running the other way," Mr Fang said during Senate Estimates. "This is a really complex story, a very fast-moving story so we are always trying to meet our editorial policies and our standing.
