It’s been fascinating watching the growth of 6 News, they’re now breaking stories. Well done @Leo_Puglisi6

the new 6 News politics promo is so good! The production values have definitely increased, and they were already pretty good

Thank you! 
Expect to see more where that came from on air too very soon.

@Leo_Puglisi6 and team - have you considered say putting headlines/summaries in your countdown sequence, or even doing a classic-style BBC World breakfiller where you can put headlines and other info in the middle of your promos? Could be a good compromise between having your bulletins going straight into it/giving opening headlines and also good content for 24hr streams too

I do like the breakfiller idea - felt very jarring during the Japan earthquake rolling coverage when Leo et. al. were cutting to new year’s fireworks in between news breaks.

Yeah that was a less than ideal situation where we were caught off guard having planned a pretty simple schedule of 6 News, live fireworks, fireworks replay, repeat
Outside of the bulletins though we’ve got other news programs (and some other ones planned, stay tuned) so any further breaking news interruptions should be a bit less jarring

Uncensored doesn’t mean throwing people under the bus with out of context comments for cheap clicks. Poor form.

Yes, not easy feeling sorry for Basil, but this is perhaps one exception. Nothing more than click seekers.

It’s better being right than being first. Have the full information available rather than trying to get the clicks and gotcha moment in a tweet.

I’ll state clearly that anyone claiming we did it deliberately for clicks is wrong
The live feed we have access to (as they’re from our partner WAMN) began at the same moment as the video we posted did, we cut out nothing
I can confirm 6 News is now reviewing our practices and further looking at how we can best ensure we have 100% of all available feeds to guarantee full context

I think they are talking about the fact that in your original post you were claiming that Basil was saying that about the female final and that there was no context about what happened beforehand.

Literally every media organisation did that, that was not mutually exclusive to 6 News.
Heck 10 still have the clip up and haven’t edited or taken it down like others.

I don’t want to make this a “we’ll look they’re wrong so we’re fine” thing, but I will note - the unedited video Zempilas posted is clearly the same feed as Channel 10 posted, except Channel 10 didn’t show the first bit
Whereas our feed simply never had the first bit and that’s out of my control

The original tweet from 6 News only features the quotes from Basil. There’s no commentary associated with the quotes. The interpretation of those quotes came from the people replying as opposed to 6 News.
Sorry, but I don’t think they have done anything wrong here.

Did you approach Basil for comment prior to publishing the tweet?
I’m sorry if this comes across as harsh - but something doesn’t have to be “deliberate” to be misleading, unethical and even defamatory. A failure to do due diligence is absolutely driven by a desire to get what you thought was a gotcha moment uploaded as quickly as possible - for clicks.
