Mushroom Murder Verdict News Coverage

And it’s always Chris Reason because that’s all they’ve got in terms of their national experience. I would’ve thought they would’ve got Nick McCallum.

I think the person who was covering the case out of Melbourne should have got the gig for the verdict.

Any excuse to submit it for Walkley or Logies consideration I guess. Reaso must have mates who make the calls on this stuff.

BBC went live as well as Australian channels




























10 seem like they’re scrambling to put this together a little, pre-prepared package from Abby was quite good, but Jen seemed to struggle a little to fill some time, could also hear her whisper something to someone off-air.

They’ve got 3 reporters there, Abby Dinham, Steph Baumgartel, and Samantha Butler (the later presumably for 10 News+)

Abby called Jen ‘Ange’ twice just before reading out the verdicts.

Edit: They’ve just wrapped and gone to Lingo, 5pm bulletins teased for more info, but no mention of Afternoon?

Meanwhile on 9 Amber Johnston has been covering the case from day 1… no doubt this will build her profile up more so. Great reporter.

Not the most bizarre thing they’ve done today IMO - the 15 minute block of WOF was odd.

Yep agree as well as Penelope who has also been hosting a successful podcast on the case as well.

Looking at it Nines coverage seems superior.
A lot of awkward camera and dead moments on 7. Probably getting direction from the Sydney newsroom = a mess ha

Most likely - they have been promoting their coverage of the trial

I thought Estelle Griepink has done a fantastic job too, not sure if she covered it from day dot though.

File vision shows ex-Cameron Baud there at the beginning, those shots we’ve all seen a million times of Erin Patterson getting out of her vehicle.

The verdict doesn’t give her mush-room to appeal

I’ll see myself out.

I’m told she’s apologised to the judge and jury and offered to cook them a meal to amend the relationship.

As Sully mentioned, Estelle Griepink has also been part of the coverage.

Nine are preparing to sign off for the moment.
