On the ground in Beirut. Seven News.

I just wish Seven would send Naomi Robson over to Beirut.

Naomi Robson? Mischievously witty?

Nick, your continual adulation of channel Seven for everything is beginning to verge on the bizarre.

sorry i mean….
seven news is better hands down NINE only sent some blond to isreal at least seven cares about is quality of its news compared to nine who cares about what its news looks like. seven should put naomi in the frontline though -t-

I agree with the comments from this article from The Australian’s Media section – that Naomi Robson’s “more Frontline than Frontline“, and “the Mike Moore of Channel 7”!

Believe it or not, BBC World is also doing a similar style (although, I don’t think the reporters are running away even though at least one has run away from a bomb on one report (wouldn’t be the best situation).

Not sure what CNN international are doing though as I haven’t had much time to watch Pay TV lately (back studying my Media Production course).

Sure the ABC is good, not as good as it was, but I just love the arrogance of people who completely write of commercial news, sure they may not cover as greater bredth of stories but what they do cover they do well becasue they have greater resources. Ten is the weakest, followed by Nine, I really think 7News is the best. Their chief political reporter, Mark Riley, was recently awarded a prestigious Canberra press club award, the first time it has been given to a non-print journalist. His coverage, olong with that of Geoff Parry and Gemma Haines is the Canberra buraeu is just great. And their Hurricane Katrina, Tsunami, Lebanon coverage is also superb. Also Naomi knows she isn’t a hard hitting Journalist, you can tell with her subtle humour and mischevious glimmer in her eye but the show does serve a purpose and serves it well as well as lifting its standards in the last year, ACA is still utter trash.

7, 9, 10, TT and ACA have a narrow focus, focusing only on what is in people’s back yard.

The Chasers revealed recently that TT’s analysis on the budget extended only to petrol prices. Hardly informative or important.

And I disagree – TT serves NO purpose, except to provde us all with nausea that people could participate in such a show – either as guests, or as staff!
