Geoff on schoolies! Wow i guess no other journo wanted to go hahaha!!
Hard to believe this presenter banter from Seven News Sydney (which IMO, is far better than the awkwardness of Fergo & Mel McLaughlin on Sunday-Thursday in recent years) is now over five years oldâŚ
Surely I canât be the only one here who to this day, wonders what mightâve been for Seven News Sydney if they persisted with the Chris Bath & Jim Wilson lead news/sports presenter combination for a bit longer?!
Apologies for the double post, but since I donât want to go wildly off topic in another threadâŚ
YeahâŚIâm personally of the belief that the main presenter who can take any credit for Seven News Sydneyâs improving ratings in recent years (and particularly 2018, with most of this yearâs notable wins happening during the 6.30pm half of the bulletin) is more likely to be David Brown rather than Mark Ferguson, whoâs never been a strong audience puller on weeknights for any extended length of time.
As itâs been pointed out multiple times before, weather coverage is a major weakness of Nine News Sydney - hopefully something Darren & Simon will address in 2019 but as per usual, Iâm not holding my breath for it to happen!
Andrew McCormack presented sport on Afternoon News in Melbourne this week.
Chris Reason is reporting from Bali.
Tuesday -
Mike Amor presented a special edition of Melbourne Morning News today for coverage on the Melbourne Terror Arrests this morning.
They should just instate local bulletins at 11.30am. The Melbourne newsroom and studio is completely up and running at that time.
Seven certainly well for the exactly opposite of what they had. Two presenters who ooze personality to two who have difficulty interacting with each other.
No. Itâs not.
Do we have a video or montage of this special bulletin from yesterday?
Seven Newsâ Mark Riley recognised with Walkley Award for Excellence in Journalism**
Seven News Political Editor Mark Riley was last night recognised with the Walkley Award for Excellence in Journalism for Commentary, Analysis, Opinion and Critique.
Riley accepted the award at the 63rd annual gala event in Brisbane for his collection of editorial articles published in Seven West Mediaâs The West Australian newspaper and online; â Atrocities committed in Godâs name mean church will never sway me â, â Live exports to Middle East based on a lie â, and â â Disappointingâ Malcolm Turnbull comes under fire from his own faction â.
On receiving the award, Riley said: âIâm thrilled with such humbling recognition from my peers, but more proud that the Seven West Media tradition of groundbreaking journalism is acknowledged at a time when our viewers and readers need frank, fair and forthright reporting more than ever.â
Network Director of News and Public Affairs, Craig McPherson said: âBe it on broadcast or in print, Markâs incisive observations and insights hold supreme in a media landscape where supply is oh so plentiful. This acknowledgement is tremendous recognition of Markâs ongoing body of work and the exceptional standard he sets.â
Seven News also congratulates Chief Reporter Chris Reason, a finalist in the Television/Video: News Reporting category for his coverage of the rescue in June this year of the Wild Boars soccer team from the Tham Luang cave system in Thailand.
