ABC Fora is a new screen space for intellectual, political, cultural and economic debate in Australia. As well as this website, ABC Fora brings you 2 TV shows a week on ABC 2, hosted by journalist Tony Jones. Tune in every Thursday from 5.35pm for selected highlights, and then Fridays at 8am for the best of those in full.

ABC Fora broadcasts an eclectic and provocative selection of the most interesting, challenging and diverse talks events - everywhere from major conferences to tiny inner-city bookshops, from the libraries and town halls to the universities and institutes across Australia.
But we don't stop there.

ABC Fora has formed an exciting content-sharing relationship with San Francisco based internet media group FORA.tv, and the two of us have combined forces to bring our audiences the smartest video content on the web. With ABC Fora and FORA.tv, you can watch the most interesting and important global thinkers and leaders, and participate in debate with other Fora viewers from New Farm to New York.

If you're interested in ideas, arguments, current affairs, abstract thoughts, the arts, politics, writing, science, economics, technology or popular culture, now it doesn't matter where you live. With ABC Fora and FORA.tv, you can still be part of intellectual activity in your community and far, far beyond.
