JEREMIAH

OK so Jeremiah was found and returned to his mother. So why did CNC and TV6 decide to run their stories at close to 4 minutes? And most of it was just short sound bites from the mother with the media jostling her.

Sharmilla Persad's story was a bit wrong sided as she started her story with a shot of the father saying they were going to get the child, then a shot of the mother holding the baby, then she went to a shot of the parents "waiting to get the child". Why didn't you just start the story with them waiting, or start with the mother holding the baby and then write to your pictures?

After their baby story, CNMG went live to Mark Bassant outside the Mount Hope hospital where he interviewed the young mother's relatives. Interesting. But Mark you need to work on your live presentation. You didn't seem to know what to do with your shoulders, so you just kept shrugging them, even to indicate that you were tossing back to Julian in studio.

And Naette, you did not have quality video for that story on the man who was shot in Champ Fleur. It was shaky and the cameraman zoomed in and out willy nilly. Shouldn't you have supered it as "Amateur Video" even to save face?

Sherwin Long the graphic on your money laundering story was way too small. Anyone who was able to read it was probably doing so with a splitting headache.

And CNC when are we going to see Sampson Nanton again? We hear his voice every night, but no sign of him.
