Not content with a Head of Documentary, the ABC has created a new position – the Head of Factual, to deal with shorter, more populist, more um.. television.. kinds of non-fiction.
This role, which covers shows such as Q&A, Focus, Message Stick, and Catalyst, will collect a currently diffuse effort in the one Blackberry. It will help to deal with the fact that the demand is increasing as the ABC increases its digital reach with new channels.
