Do we need NEWS?
Oct 18th, 2008 at 8:29am
 
COMMERCIAL television has abandoned its commitment to news and current affairs

Quote:
Business Sunday got the chop first....
Then Nightline was flicked...
Can Tony Jones's new Q&A program (for the ABC) - even with politicians on the panel - beat The Footy Show?...



Can Rupert Murdoch' be The Saver?
Could Packers be The Saver if they had been allowed to buy Fairfax instead of casinos?
Do Australians need The Australian?

Ray Martin said an unwillingness to invest in journalism elsewhere had seen "sackings and forced redundancies, newspapers closing and TV programs dumped".

There has been a gradual trend of removing local TV news offices in regional areas for a long time. Plenty of journos lost their job that way. There is now a lot less scrutiny over local councils etc.
