Current affairs is a genre of broadcast journalism in which major news stories are discussed at length in a timely manner.
[2] In Australia, the aptly named A Current Affair developed by the Nine Network in the 1970s focuses on community issues not usually discussed by major news bulletins.
Recurring stories include: hoons, dodgy tradies, neighbours from hell, and corruption.
Today Tonight produced by the Seven Network from 1995 to 2019 was also similar in format, covering stories comparable to that of ACA.
Additionally, newspapers such as the Private Eye, The Economist, Monocle, The Spectator, The Week, The Oldie, Investors Chronicle, Prospect, MoneyWeek,[3] New Statesman, Time, Fortune, BBC History Magazine, and History Today are all sometimes referred to as current affairs magazines.
