ABC chairwoman Ita Buttrose has said some staff at the broadcaster unconsciously let their biases show through, as she revealed she had no plans to cut jobs despite the almost $84 million budget reduction facing the organisation.

"Sometimes I think we might be biased. I think sometimes we could do with more diversity of views," Ms Buttrose told ABC Radio on Wednesday. "Sometimes I think, people without really knowing it, let a bias show through."

"I haven't got a problem with anybody's view but I think we need to make sure ours is as diverse as it can be ... The more diverse views we can represent, the better it will be for us," Ms Buttrose said in remarks that dovetail with the demands of some of the ABC's conservative critics.

Ms Buttrose, a publishing veteran, was appointed to run the ABC this year after a period of turmoil in which it was revealed former chairman Justin Milne appeared to demand senior journalists Emma Alberici and Andrew Probyn be fired for criticising the Coalition.
