## Resource

ABC’s iconic investigative show Four Corners is in freefall after a reporter allegedly faked three different sources — including a drug dealer, a reformed addict, and a security operative — all played by the same person. The reporter, a former motorcycle club member, has been fired, and both affected documentaries have been pulled. Internal investigations are underway, with senior staff being questioned, as this scandal threatens the show’s 65-year legacy and the broader credibility of investigative journalism. The ABC is under intense scrutiny as it tries to restore trust and overhaul safeguards to prevent future breaches.
