Saying they don’t care is a bit ridiculous, as CMO has said numerous times they just don’t have the resources and journalists to cover this adequately outside of their flagship 5pm bulletin. Of course they care, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who didn’t care about the poor people who lost their lives in this attack.
Studio 10 in my opinion did the right thing, they brought viewers the news they needed to know as it was unfolding and as developments came to hand however they provided a point of difference from the rolling coverage on the other networks for those who didn’t want to watch the repetitive footage/analysis/experts for some fun light hearted viewing.
IMO, if any other network was in Ten’s situation it would not have taken them more than 5 years to recover. I think if they tried they could have the resource. Yes they are improving this year but they hardly have adequate resources for their flagship bulletin let alone outside 5pm.

[/quote] I wasn’t criticising Studio 10, just know they can do rolling coverage really well.
In this instance they need people on the ground…there are many Aussie tourists in Nice and France at this time and if they had a Europe correspondent they could easily just jump on a short flight to the south of France.
My point is ten need the resources. They need to cover news properly. They were doing such a great job then some shit heads came there and ripped the guts out of the news division.
I still don’t know why they haven’t introduced new bulletins. It’s greater content.
Here is Julie Bishop addressing the media on the Bastille Day Attacks: Here . More coverage still to come as soon as my editing software starts to work again.
