NEWS NEWS

Thanks Rosemarie Sant of CNC 3 for taking up our suggestion of blurring the shots of the students for the CAPE story for your midday news, and subsequent newscasts.
(But Rosemarie at 7 and 9.30pm we heard you say "...the printing are done separately.")
And your colleague over at C News, Joanne Briggs used close up, un-blurred shots of students in her report on CAPE.

And thanks Satesh for telling us at the end of your midday newscast that you would have live coverage of the PM's speech at 1.30pm.
That was shown live on CNC 3, NCC4, and TV6.
Kudos also for going live at the top of your midday newscast to the scene at the Mittal steel plant where the worker died.
You also led your 7pm newscast with that, while TV6 led with the PM's Senate speech.

For 7pm, Otto Carrington, you gave us a piece of lazy journalism by allowing Ian Collier to read his speech on the Chamber's response to the PM setting up a parliamentary enquiry into the allegations against Udecott.
Even if you recorded his bit, here's a trick: you could have asked him to expand on one point in that whole speech so he would have sounded as if you were interviewing him. But it sounded staged, and he came across as saying 'Here's what we have and don't ask me for anything else'. Well there are ways to get around that.

Desha Rambhajan of C News, your story on the PM's speech sounded strange. There were parts where you paused and we clearly expected soundbites to come up, but instead we heard a bit of silence then you went on, even saying "He went on to say..." so that is clearly leaving our ears perked to hear a sot from the PM.
Well we never heard him until close to a minute into your story.

And thanks Charlene Ramdhanie of C News for giving us statistics on industrial accidents for this year and last year, as well as the statement from the ILO. It put the death of the young man at the steel plant into perspective.
