New thread. Old one here:
Why âOneâ News?
I got excited then, thought it was changing back to One News (wish it would tbh, never liked the numeral being used. I know this is petty even for MediaSpy, lol).
Why a new thread?
Archiving of old threads to help the performance of the site, some due to the sheer size with no of comments.
Was pointed out that some of the AR graphics have been updated. They rolled these changes out on Wednesday here are a few caps from tonight
Anna Burns-Francis, former Breakfast host moving to Dubai.
Unsurprising but really poor that there didnât seem to be any recognition from TVNZ that the Pope had died last night - a flipper or ticker would have sufficed but nothing.
Made worse by the pre-recorded top stories âupdateâ playing out an hour after the news came out with no mention. Probably better just to kill it at that point if itâs not going to have a major story in.
What time did the news hit New Zealand?
Just before 8pm.
wow.. thatâs really poor. And its a weekday
So no New Zealand TV news service was able to capture the news until Breakfast commenced this morning?
A public holiday, but still.
Yes, thatâs correct.
That is bloody terrible for a country of 5-6 million.
And not even to have the resources to provide a flipper or or ticker across the screen.
Note everyday a pope dies.
Was there even anything on breakfast this morning or no?
Yeah there was plenty of coverage on Breakfast.
No Surprise at all, when the Australian coverage was being discussed on here had a quick look at TVNZ+ to see the TVNZ1 livestream just to see if there was a slight possibility they had something.
I do note that they had a couple of news clips on that TVNZ+ news tab that were up fairly quickly. I reckon TVNZ would defend those two stories as being an adequate response to this event in a âdigital firstâ environment.
Even RNZ covered it on their âBreakingâ Banner on their TV feed. Seems uttetly slack TVNZ didnât/couldnât do anything.
How about from Stuff / Three?
Honestly just close the TVNZ Newsroom down at this point. Itâs shocking but then not at the same time with TVNZâs lack of coverage.
Studf had a report from AP. Sam Hayes reposted it to her Instagram story.
