Hmmm there does seem to be an undeserved claim of exclusivity here.
The 10 report does add additional detail but the key piece of new information; the timing of the release does indeed appear to have been reported several months ago.
It wouldnât be Hugh making the claim, I suspect it would be the work of a well meaning but perhaps inexperienced producer.
But there may be other things any play here.

Though Riminton wrote exclusive on his Twitter post.

you seen 9 or 7 lately? Nothing new here, and itâs quite offensive for others to suggest it must be an âinexperiencedâ producer that used Exclusive.

I can only apply my own standards, I would never apply âexclusiveâ to a story that clearly wasnât.
Iâm not responsible for what others do.
If you and 10 are comfortable then thatâs fine.
As for the reference to âinexperiencedâ I was just trying to be polite because I canât imagine a senior producer doing it.

Again, have you seen Seven and Nine? There is nothing new to this. Yeesh.

So what?
Do better.
On that basis can we expect to see Aldi specials as news stories on 10?

Oh get a grip. Are there Aldi stories on 7?
Itâs one story, not shown on any other network tonightâŠ

Ok, youâre defensive, I understand that.
Iâve made my point, youâve made yours.
Clearly thereâs never going to be agreement.
Time to move on

I am so sick of some on this forum who have a holier than thou attitude when it comes to 10.
At the end of the day they are still a commercial television network.
As much as they are working to stand out and be different, obviously the masses want what 7 & 9 deliver.

I donât think that excuses them from criticism. We may not all agree, but itâs the nature of the business. Edit: or critique

I bet News Corp wouldnât have kicked up stink about this if CBS didnât own Ten

I pointed out that that exclusive was wrong, as I have pointed out other instances where various media outlets have wrongly claimed an exclusive. Iâm sick of exclusives being claimed when they are not exclusives.

But itâs not an exclusive. News Corp had it first.

But that does not mean you have to go and instantly defend 10 as soon as something you donât like is said about the network or its news offering. We all have opinions that need to be respected.
Regardless if the information is new or not it is a win for both 10 and the Daily Telegraph and demonstrates that good journalism is occurring without the tabloid crap taking over news these days. All networks are now adopting the American sensationalised âexclusiveâ which is being overused to the point that we donât even know what to classify an exclusive since everything is apparently one.

The story on Ten was different in focus and content, with a lot more detail and currency than the rather vague âin Novemberâ report from News Corp. For example, Tenâs report had a statement from Bali Border protection with info on Australian Consulate and Immigration, none of which are covered in the News Corp article.

I didnât instantly. I was told 3 or 4 times that my view was wrong.
