One of my biggest gripes with reporters is when they insert unnecessary pauses when they’re talking, in particular when they insert a pause a few words before the end of their report (ie, instead of saying something like ‘and the man is waiting for his family to return home’ it gets changed to ‘and the man is waiting for his family (pause) to return home’ (generally with a downward inflection).
Some Ch7 reporters do it all the time and it’s really frustrating, however on Saturday I was listening to a simulcast of the Ch9 news and they were outdone by Julie Snook (I think that’s her name). I don’t know if she’d been told to stretch out her report but all the way through she inserted these ridiculous pauses, to the point that I all I noticed were these pauses rather than what she was saying. Perhaps it was more noticeable because I was listening to the news rather than watching it but (pause) she was awful…

Shout out to Melissa Downes. She did a stellar performance leading the bulletin, under difficult circumstances. Her delivery was seamless, without an autocue. Definitely developed her skills under previous management.
