Something which has been annoying me lately, and trashes the brand, is this sensationalist garbage.
No need for it.

Same thing happens with the Royal Adelaide Show - Nine, Seven and 10 have been doing weather OB’s from the show for years, regardless of who are the main media sponsors.
Probably gives free publicity for the show.

There’s no clear strategy with their uploads. It’s very clear lots of different people are uploading the content with no single voice or brand standards. The thumbnails are also trash. For a supposedly digital-first pivot, its a really poor showing. An embarassment even.

I let them know what I’m planning to cover and they might throw a few ideas at me. It’s like answering to any editor, but I have a lot of freedom.

I’m not seeing it? They look completely different?
Well one’s a next day outlook and the others an 8 day outlook. Of course they’re going to be different? I don’t understand the post.

The Melbourne Show needs all the promotion it can get… Locking out fellow networks is not in the interest of the event.

Not sure if it’s already been reported but I first noticed it tonight, 7 Sydney using new hideous OTS graphics.

They do look weird kinda floating in the backdrop. They need to go back to having the OTS side filled in with the white background behind.

It looks okay, it would look much better if it reached the top and bottom of the screen.

Media release from Seven
Erin Edwards appointed Brisbane and Gold Coast News Director
The Seven Network today announced the appointment of Erin Edwards as Brisbane and Gold Coast News Director, effective 2025.
Reporting to Seven Network’s Director of News and Current Affairs and Seven West Media Editor- in-Chief Anthony De Ceglie, Ms Edwards will be responsible for the editorial and managerial leadership of the Brisbane and Gold Coast newsrooms.
Queensland-born Ms Edwards is a Walkley Award-winning journalist and will return to Australia’s #1 news service from Network 10, where she has been Executive Editor, 10 News Queensland, since June 2023. Before that role, she spent 22 years as a senior journalist with Seven in Mackay, Townsville, the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.
She has a Bachelor of Journalism from The University of Queensland and during her time at Seven, won a Walkley Award for Television News Reporting for her story on the Lockyer Valley Flood.
The announcement about Ms Edwards follows the appointments earlier this year of Sean Power as Seven’s Sydney News Director, Mark Mooney as Adelaide News Director, Chris Salter as Melbourne News Director, Gemma Acton as National Director of News Operations, Gemma Williams as Executive Producer of 7NEWS Spotlight, Jake Lyle as Sunrise Executive Producer, Holly Fallon as Weekend Sunrise Executive Producer, and Natalie Wolfe as Editor of 7NEWS.com.au.
Mr De Ceglie: “Erin is a proven leader whose heart never really left Seven. She’s a first- class team player and decision maker with impeccable news judgement and a real will to teach and develop all staff. She started at Seven Queensland out of university and then moved to Seven Brisbane, where she got a name as an elite police reporter and all- rounder with impeccable writing and presenting standards.
“7NEWS is an integral part of the lives of the community in Brisbane and the Gold Coast and I can’t wait for Erin and the team to take it to even greater heights.”
Seven Queensland Managing Director, Todd Dickinson, said: “I know how much our News team admire and respect Erin, not just as a journalist but as a leader and, most of all, as a person. They are ecstatic she is coming back home where she belongs – and I feel exactly the same.”
Ms Edwards said: “I am thrilled to return home to 7NEWS Brisbane and Gold Coast and lead Queensland’s best news team.
“I was a teenager when I first walked into a Seven newsroom as an intern. I grew up within its walls and over two decades shared some of this state’s biggest stories. I can’t wait to tell more.”

Best news team? I bet she said that to Liz and Sharyn about 10 News First.

Anyone notice the oops moment on Seven News Melbourne last night when at the end of a Melina Saris story on rents, it cut to Mitch who was sitting at the desk, lips not moving, while his voice clearly thanked Melina. Gave away the pre-record.
