How 2UE airbrushed 2GB out of the picture
So last year, Fairfax Media carried an image of Labor grandee John Robertson talking to the media.
Today, sister radio station 2UE carries (almost) the same image on its website.
Can you spot the subtle difference?
Nothing wrong with a bit of airbrushing of course. They’re only a news organisation, after all.
(10.45am update: observers in the comment thread point out that they’ve wiped out the ABC logo too…)
No news is good news for 2UE. May as well cut the ABC logo, too. Oh, they did.

Why didn’t they just airbrush the whole Mic out?

They should have put the 2SM and 2KY logos in there so they could feel like top dog again.

When you’re scared of your competitors it’s time to pack up and go home, surely?

A Microphone with 2SM written on it? what will the on air staff use?

Awesome, I like they did it. I don’t think they’re trying to pretend GB don’t exist, just not going to give them a free kick (very minor one at that..). If there’s designer free and they have the time. Why not. I reckon UE staff would copping renditions of the JFK “Ask not speech” and this a staffer answering the call.
