news.com.au has a breaking story about Melbourne Airport being closed due to a fire in the control tower, but the lead video at the top of the story has nothing to do with news story. Most lead videos on news.com.au having nothing to do with the following story. Why does News have this annoying policy of pushing unrelated videos onto readers.

To suck people in.
The Sunday Telegraph has a small revamp from this week. Its kids section Funday Telegraph has been split into two. It is now a folded A1 size poster with its own games and puzzles. The TV guide itself has been reduced to compact size (around A5) and has been renamed Watch, and keeps the comics (from Funday Telegraph) and puzzles for adults. Funday Telegraph was a 8-page liftout until 2017 before it was merged with the TV guide.
News Corp publishes a news story with an offensive headline. They should be using Aboriginal, not the offensive colonial era term Aborigines.
Itâs the same wordâŚ
The volume of material produced by the podcast has caused problems for the prosecution and the defence in the case against Chris Dawson, with Dawsonâs lawyer claiming both sides have had their cases jeopodised.
News Corp should pull down the podcast from iTunes to avoid further legal problems.
Next week the Sunday Herald Sun will introduce a new 32-page entertainment liftout called Screen. It will merge the existing Scene liftout (which didnât appear in todayâs paper) and TV Guide. It will include 5 pages of puzzles and a new gaming column by former Good Game and screenPLAY host Stephanie Bendixsen.
Wait, the TV Guide is going to be formed into this oversized lift out with other rubbish in it too?
Sigh.
The new Screen liftout is complete rubbish. The TV area is awful compared to the TV Guide. It seems that everything was just mashed together into one liftout without any coherence whatsoever.
Theyâve done a good job at completely shrinking the decent content in the paper in the last five years, while continuously putting the price up. The Wednesday TV lifout used to be decent but that was morphed into the Hit magazine. The TV Guide was still pretty good, unfortunately thatâs been destroyed too.

I just saw this last night. Alice has really made a name for herself and dug up some great stories while at Buzzfeed, but it seems quite the change to go from there to the Oz, a somewhat more conservative publication

Embarrassing mistake by Chris Kenny
The word used was âconservatorsâ, in a light-hearted chat about a murder mystery book set in an art museum.
