CASE STUDY ABC Regional Storyteller Scholarship The ABC’s Regional Storyteller Scholarship recognises the early career value of supporting emerging content makers with disability who live outside capital cities, helping them to challenge perceptions they face within the broader community, as well as to break down unnecessary barriers. Scholarship winners work with various ABC teams over three months to develop their skills, produce content and gain valuable employment experience. The ABC’s 2022 Regional Storyteller Scholarship has been awarded to two content makers with disability from regional NSW and Queensland: Jessica Horner from Wagga Wagga, NSW, and Raven Cook from Cairns, Queensland. Beyond the value to scholarship recipients themselves, ABC Regional & Local Director, Judith Whelan, has particularly highlighted the broader value to public broadcasting of this scholarship: Each year we have seen some exceptional talent emerge and some exceptional storytelling produced, all of which have resonated strongly with our audiences.12 Guidelines for the targeted recruitment of people with disability | 19
