Where did the random post come from that it was 4.5?
Perhaps it’s not the reporters decision, the producer probably tells them where to go?

I’m not sure where that specific number came from, but its not uncommon for the Magnitude to be restated sometime after the event (after the data has been reviewed by seismologists)

Yep, it was officially listed as 4.7 right afterward, including an official alert I received on my phone.
Then downgraded to 3.8

As I can’t post in the King’s Coronation thread anymore, here’s a multiview of Dutch channels and their coverage (or lack thereof) (I think…):

I’d expect every media outlet worth their salt to cover it.
And considering Chris Reason covered the court case on 7 (and even got a shout-out from Nick McKenzie in a tweet last year for his coverage) I’ll place my $14 Kmart wine glasses on the table* and wager he’ll be the one to cover the decision.

There’ll at least be an extended news “alert” when the verdict is announced, similar to the interest rate announcements I reckon.
