ABC Denies CEO’s Claim It ‘Misquoted’ Sexual Assault Service on Use of Paedophile Term
The chief executive officer of Tasmania’s Sexual Assault Support Service (SASS) has claimed that a news producer from the ABC “misquoted” one of their managers when advising some journalists, via email, to avoid using the word “paedophile” in reporting, so as not to marginalise them. But the ABC stands by the contents of the email.
This comes after News Corp’s The Australian reported on March 6 that a senior ABC producer was purportedly prompted to send the email after the SASS manager expressed concern that the use of the word “paedophile” might negatively impact some paedophiles.
