The ABC ombudsman has cleared the broadcaster’s coronation coverage from editorial breaches but said the timing on the day of King Charles’ coronation was “jarring for some viewers”.
“While the broadcast did not breach the Corporation’s editorial standards, it was the decision to schedule the panel discussion between 5-6pm while footage of the arrivals at the Abbey was being broadcast, that attracted the most criticism and complaints received by the ABC,” the ABC ombudsman, Fiona Cameron, said.
