‘Difficult yet necessary’: Channel Nine cancels Darwin evening news
In a worrying sign of the times, Channel Nine has axed its nightly, hourly Darwin news bulletin, with the broadcast being replaced by the Queensland news.
In addition, Nine’s Gold Coast bulletin will be downsized, with a single reporter presenting each evening, a job that will be split between current on-air newsreaders Eva Milic and Paul Taylor.
The changes to Darwin and Gold Coast will impact 11 full-time roles, with some redeployments and three redundancies. A reporter and camera-operator will continue to work from Darwin, “to tell the Territory’s stories to a national audience.”
where next?
The abc wasted no time letting everyone know about local news program…. unfortunately, it is rarely interesting…. seems the newsreaders feel similarly…. not all newsworthy content is aired, pick’n’choose it seems, aligned with abc policies of wokedom….. some presenters have been reduced to monotone delivery of stories….
