What is ABC OPEN?
A big, exciting new project
that you can be part of.
We invite regional communities to
produce and publish photos, stories,
videos, and sound through the ABC.
We help you make stories.

People tell stories about
their lives and
communities.
Stories are made by
you, not journalists.
