"Behind the News" (more commonly known as "BTN") is a long-running news program broadcast on Australia's ABC1 aimed at school-aged children (10-13 years of age). It presents current issues and events in a way that could be understood and further explored by its intended viewers.

In 2004 "Behind the News" was temporarily axed due to Government budget cuts but returned to air in 2005. While "BTN" was the first and original program of this nature, a similar program on Network Ten, "ttn" ("the total news"), debuted in the year "BTN" did not air and still continues to supplement it.
