Was it necessary for Seven to show the footage from the Gunman’s Livestream, albeit cropped? :confused:

Kudos to 1 and Three their journalistic credibility compared what Australia have been reporting. Really shows they do their research and wait for anything official and confirmed before it has been reported and our constant reminders of everything happening tv wise is purely speculation, unconfirmed and what has come from eye witnesses

Seven seem to have only shown caps so far. Nine have shown the video multiple times (and again just now).

As someone said earlier, surprised Newshub haven’t brought on a higher profile anchor but Mitch McCann is doing a stellar job. He went to school close by to the shooting, knows the roads and area around it. Thomas Mead exceptional too

Yep, Thomas proves himself over and over again as a consummate Journo. Mike McRoberts, this man is coming for your job!

That’s why I think the editorial decision was made to put McCann in to front the rolling coverage. He is a local and knows the area very well, so for him and Mead to go back and forth flowed more than 1 IMO. I think that once it hits 5, it would be the good time to make the transition onto whoever is presenting at 6.

Both networks are padding now.

Thanks to NaruTVMock for posting a livestream of 1’s coverage.

Mitch keeps referring to Brougham Ave… should be Brougham Street.
I guess he’s just reading what’s on the autocue as he hasn’t had a chance to query it?
