It’s not the first time that a fake media-related Twitter account has been made though.
A few years back I remember someone doing a fake Fiona Ferguson (former Prime7 News Northern NSW presenter and current editor of the Northern Daily Leader newspaper, for those unaware) page, before she actually joined Twitter!
About to make a bit of TV news history in #toowoomba tonight with the help of our gun #pilot@gkmc__ and #copilot@beeghsta with the first ever @9newsqueensland#darlingdowns bulletin! Super excited to launch in my hometown
In-general I’m all for the consistent branding, but this part is just stupid.
(As has been said here previously) that tagline should be excluded from the 9News branding for the regional bulletins.
Agree. Despite the lacklustre news anchor, the bulletin itself is very polished and entrenched on the Sunshine Coast. Nine’s going to have a hard time to make a dent into Seven’s dominance.
Interesting selection for first story tonight about a car crash involving a runaway stolen car at Burpengary, a northern suburb of Brisbane. That was followed by two local stories - Noosa fires and speedway deaths. These two stories headlined both Seven local news and WIN News on the Sunny Coast while the car crash featured in Brisbane News bulletins and was a feature of a Ten traffic report.
