It might be a reprint but every reprint brings it to a new audience. In this case, SBS is an Australian government broadcaster whose charter is "to provide multilingual and multicultural radio and television services that inform, educate and entertain all Australians and, in doing so, reflect Australia's multicultural society". So it has a charter and an audience that cares about diversity. I would suspect Wikipedia donors are likely to be disproportionately part of that audience, and, yes, the donation campaign banner ads are running here at the moment.

So, reprint or not, having it picked up by SBS isn't such good news.

I probably should also add that according to the 2012 fundraising data, Australians appear to have the highest per-capita rate of Wikipedia donors, albeit off a much lower population base.
