Quality of news, what stories they report on, managing staff, etc.
It all counts at 6PM.
I know that. But it sounds like you have something against them just because they have had so many COS. Iâm sure they are important but how does that affect your viewing? Perhaps you know them and they mistreated you or something like that?
Whoâs gone thtough the COS role in recent years.
CoS only manages the crews out on the field, assigns which story goes to which journo, and pass on news tips to the producers. The news director and the producers are behind the content of the bulletin, not the CoS.

This comment I stand by, happily. The suggestion that it is âalways insecure men who feel the need to pass judgementâ is factually inaccurate.
What I donât understand is how you go from that to a full-blown attack on me. Please quote the part of this discussion where I made a comment about any presenter that you deemed to be inappropriate. Never did I target women, or gay men (seriously, wtf?) in fact I think I made it quite clear that I think all presenters should be held to the same standard (and generally I think they are here on the forum).
My point was simply that anybody who choses a job that is in the public eye should expect judgement and vitriol at times. You might not like that (I certainly donât) but itâs the way it is.
And for what itâs worth -
My opinion is that Jacquie is not âable and aptâ to be a 6pm news presenter. I find her presentation to be stilted and uncomfortable to watch, her reading is often poorly paced and she lacks authority behind the desk.
Disclaimer - my opinion has nothing to do with the fact that she is a woman.

A bit of a simplification if the COS position. Arguably 2IC in the newsroom behind the news director and probably has a more hands on role with stories, crews and reporters than the news director. The EP, director and COS would be deciding what story to chase and what to ignore. The COS plays a huge role in what you see on air.

Just described from what I observed during my internships.
These days the news director and EP are usually one and the same person. Youâll have a line up producer putting the bulletin to air with the EP guiding the ship in the newsroom.
As for the COS, theyâre usually the first one in in the morning and the last one out.
