PM & HART

Well Miss Gulston of TV6, we weren't impressed with your story from the PM's breakfast meeting.
Your story was just a short VSVS with two short soundbites, and the first soundbite was a repeat of what was said in the lead in to that soundbite; something about Udecott being in charge of government projects. It was very unnecessary.

Hema Ramkissoon of CNC 3 on the other hand had a package (just an hour and a half after the event concluded), with relevant soundbites from the PM, then she used a soundbite from Calder Hart, as it's the first time we are hearing from him on the contentious issue of Udecott and the 60-room hotel.

While TV6 used the same soundbite from Mr Hart in their In Case You Missed It segment at about 12.29pm. Hmmmm. Very suspect. They probably saw it being used on CNC 3 and scrambled to use it before the newscast ended. Otherwise why wasn't it used higher up in the newscast, like right after the PM's two soundbites?
This is two hours after your reporter got that soundbite. How difficult would it have been to edit that 20 second piece for the start of the newscast, since as Fabian Pierre said, Mr Hart was finally breaking his silence on the matter? And we know you didn't borrow the video since your mic flag is in the shot.

And Otto Carrington of CNC 3, in your story with Roustan Job of TTUTA, why did you use close up shots of students in their school uniforms when you were discussing the sale of exam papers?
Do you not understand that you could be suggesting that these very students and their schools are in some way involved in the racket?
Why didn't you use long shots of the students so we could not make out their faces, or use shots of their backs?
Let's hope no parent or principal catches on and gives your boss a call.
