Racism is a 'real issue' within the ABC

The Australian's Media Writer Sophie Elsworth says racism is a "real issue" for the ABC as current and former employees are coming forth to speak on their experiences within the company.

"I don't know what's gone on within the ABC . this is not a good look for the ABC and we know the ABC has all those diversity boxes that they do need to tick," Ms Elsworth told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

"They've now got former employees, current employees, coming out and saying racism is a problem there, this is a real issue for the ABC, it's caused an immense pain obviously following Stan Grant's exist and it's certainly not going away anytime soon."
