Chris Hall<p>What does it mean for news to be impartial? </p><p>"The impartiality requirement means that news must be presented in such a way that one side of an issue is<br>not unduly favoured over another, and that the program does not show prejudice or bias against a particular side. To that end, an indicator of an impartial news program is that it<br>provides sufficient information for viewers to make up their own mind about the issues presented" (ACMA investigation, 2022).</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Journalism</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Journalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Journalist</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Impartiality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Impartiality</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.acma.gov.au/publications/2022-05/report/bi-611-investigation-report-prime-may-2022" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">acma.gov.au/publications/2022-</span><span class="invisible">05/report/bi-611-investigation-report-prime-may-2022</span></a></p>

Ugur<p>Yesterday, I received an Amber Alert notification on my phone, and the link provided for more information directed me to x.com. Since the platform forces users to log in, I couldn't access any of the critical details. This situation is absurd. Government agencies and their subsidiaries should not rely on platforms associated with far-right political movements to disseminate such vital public safety information. Critical alerts must be accessible to everyone without barriers or political bias.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/amberalert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amberalert</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/impartiality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>impartiality</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/x" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>x</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/farright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>farright</span></a></p>
