Sky News Australia has apologised after a fake quote from a social media account posing as billionaire Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest was published in a news story criticising the ABC for a lengthy acknowledgment of country before an interview with managing director David Anderson.
In the story, written by lifestyle reporter Isabella Rayner, Sky reported the ABC had faced criticism for airing “a lengthy Acknowledgement of Country” before an interview involving reporter and cultural adviser Miriam Corowa and Anderson, which aired on Tuesday following the publication of a long-awaited review found systemic racism at the broadcaster.
“An earlier version of this article incorrectly attributed a response to Andrew Forrest, which was in fact made by a false Twitter account purporting to be him. The reference has been removed and Sky News apologises to Mr Forrest for the error,” the note said.Advertisement The Listen Loudly, Act Strongly review, led by Dr Terri Janke, said the ABC’s management must commit to long-term systemic change to break a cycle of discrimination, after it found overwhelming evidence of racism at the ABC, both internally and from external individuals and organisations in connection with their work.
