Dateline is an Australian television international current affairs program broadcast on SBS Television. Since its debut as Dateline World at 8:00 pm on Friday 19 October 1984, it has focused largely on international events, often in developing or warring nations.
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. 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.
