SBS Dateline 25th Anniversary Compilation.m4v

October 19 marked the 25th anniversary of Dateline. And what an extraordinary quarter century it's been! From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the shock of September 11, from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the development of the internet and the slide into global warming, the world has experienced critical, sometimes wrenching change.

Dateline has been there to record it all -- with its reporters roving the globe to bring Australian viewers a clear, intimate view of world affairs. It has not been an easy task; our journalists have been shot at, kidnapped, arrested, threatened, gassed, bombed and bashed. But they've delivered some of the most highly-acclaimed reports in the world, accumulating more than a dozen Walkley Awards (including the Gold Walkley), Rory Peck Awards, New York Film Festival awards, George Munster Independent Journalism awards, UN Peace Awards and more.

To get their stories, they've travelled to pretty much every country on earth - and in the process, they've pioneered Video Journalism - a form of story-telling that involves minimal gear and maximum courage. With no full camera crew to accompany them, our reporters now carry only a lightweight camera, a notebook, a list of contacts and a map. The result is a powerful, human perspective on the world - and Australia's place in it.

Congratulations to all at Dateline for a ground-breaking 25 years!

Broadcast on Dateline, SBS TV Australia on October 25th, 2009.
