Watching both Seven and Nine News side-by-side tonight, I couldn’t help but notice that Fergo did alot of the reporting/interviewing himself whereas Nine used multiple reporters (e.g. the chopper flyover - Fergo on 7 and Peter Stefanovic on 9). Whether this was an editorial decision or not I don’t know, but it did serve to highlight Fergo’s strengths as an on-the-road reporter.
He also had a more in-depth interview with the PM:
And an interview with NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, which Nine lacked:
Overall, IMO, Seven’s coverage tonight was superior to Nine’s. It just felt alot more planned out and organised.
Tragic the circumstances though, of course.
