wow
They probably need to send a more experienced reporter given Seven sent Chris Reason and they seemed to have some foresight into what was happening since he was there just as the conflict was starting and the only commercial journalist in Australia there. Seems Nine missed an opportunity there as the initial reports were from Europe where Reason was on the ground in Israel. But good that they have someone there now.
Nine just playing catch-up at this rate. Yes they broke Bondi Junction first & nailed the coverage (although with a scrappy presenter). But since then. Seven has stepped up their game. Nailed coverage on the Bondi Beach Massacre & now the Middle East War.
Now.. Nine needs to quit doing catch-up.. especially in a war like this
How do you suggest they “quit doing catch-up”? Once something has started you either lead or have to catch-up.
