Australian Story
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Australian Story is a weekly biography program, produced and broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Australian Story has covered many people from diverse backgrounds and reputations. Examples include Ivan Milat, Dick Smith, Wayne Bennett and Simon Crean.
The stories are 'narrated' by the profile subjects and other individuals such as friends and family members. The program aims to present a varied and contrasting picture of contemporary Australia and Australians, both known and unknown.
In recent times the program has come under attack for creating "shameless puff pieces" that feature little criticism of the person profiled.
But on the whole, the personal approach to story telling has been very well received with the program winning many professional awards including seven Walkley Awards for excellence in journalism and four consecutive Logie Awards.
Distinguished broadcaster Caroline Jones is a specialist contributor and occasional presenter.
