Going Digital

How Australia's public broadcaster reinvented itself for the digital age

Today, the ABC offers things that were unimaginable twenty years ago: twenty-four-hour news coverage, an entire app of kids' content, countless podcasts and on-demand TV shows. Before smartphones, broadband and Bluey, all this would have sounded impossible. Going Digital tells the tumultuous story of how the ABC transformed itself for the digital age, revealing the key players and controversial decisions along the way.

Drawing on candid interviews with key players and Simons's deep understanding of Australian media, Going Digital is a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at one of our most beloved public institutions.
