Not that I ever use one’s tertiary qualifications as a measure of intellect, but many personalities, including some at Ten, have a larger number of/more presitgious (/whatever measure you want to use) degrees.
Thank god there’s a senior reporter there. So a team of three reporters is quite adequate. They will be able to provide decent coverage for their one news hour a day.
She’s not really known outside of Melbourne. Dan Sutton use to be a foreign correspondent based in the US and has covered big world news and local rolling coverage of Sydney siege.
But I really don’t want to go into this with you because you will make it about some weird Melbourne thing.
Obviously because the Australian networks want to report on the Australian gold medal wins, but the reason why mainly Seven and Nine (and Ten, to a lesser extent) have sent various reporters who are usually mainly only seen on the local news over is so they’re able to file Olympics reports with a slightly local angle. If for example a Queensland athlete wins a medal, they could do a localised story just for Brisbane’s news with the local reporter from that market as well as a more generic report for use nationally and in other cities. Hopefully that makes sense.
They could’ve used Gia Loukes to anchor live into Brisbane and then turn her around and go live into Adelaide half an hour later.
And then any of the reporters could go live into Perth given the time difference.
Ten baffle me sometimes…fail to send reporters to big events overseas then Andrew Denny is in Bali for an international anti terrorist summit. There didn even seem to be politicians there. Wonder why it’s getting coverage by ten.
