What happens

Dateline is an Australian international current affairs program broadcast on SBS Television on Tuesday evenings at 9:30pm. Since its debut as Dateline World at 8:00pm on Friday, 19 October 1984, it has focused largely on international political and social issues, often in developing countries and conflict zones. In 2015, the program changed its format, changing from one-hour episodes featuring multiple stories, to half-hour single subject episodes. The series focuses on under-reported stories from around the globe, with a documentary-style format. It is broadcast on Tuesdays at 9:30pm following Insight, and all episodes are available to view on SBS On Demand. It is the longest-running international current affairs program in Australia.
