Talk:ABC News (Australian TV channel)

Murdoch
Should something be mentioned about Murdoch's opposition to the channel? Reubot (talk) 07:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The only two articles I've found so far regarding his opposition are and, with both being from Jan/Feb this year. Not exactly relevant in July. Wally Otto (talk) 11:16, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

ABC News 24 radio studios
ABC News 24 will also links live to the ABC programs such as AM, PM, The World Today, Radio National and a range of local radio programs as well as Radio National news, Classic FM news, triple j news and Local Radio news. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CTVDigital1 (talk • contribs) 22:56, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Source? That's the only reason why it isn't being accepted, is because you haven't cited the source.. Wally Otto (talk) 12:24, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Bureaus
Where do they have beauraus? Do they have one in Delhi?

Bureaux?
Isn't the plural of 'bureau', 'bureaux'? not 'bureaus'? Or is either correct? Either way, one should be decided on as both are used in the article. JWPJ (talk) 06:24, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Who's the head?
Who are the C-levels in this outfit? Who runs the station? The article only mentions presenters, but no one in production or management. —Pengo 09:53, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Spelling & Grammar
Any reason why someone removed the capital letters? Robbo128 10:24, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

"Live in Eastern States"
The section Repeated from ABC1 is misleading because several shows, most notably Q&A, are shown on ABC News 24 in WA before they are shown on ABC1. Hack (talk) 01:37, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Criticism
The criticism sections seems to be intent on pushing a very particular point of view about the ABC's news coverage, in particular of the Paris hostage situation.

The first citation given for a statement saying that the channel often just shows 'old footage' was actually a reply to previous reporting criticising ABC News 24 for not having shown more of the Christmas Island refugee story, and was knocking Sky News Australia for having devoted three and a half hours to the story when there was little to say. It almost looked like the references were sought out to support the opinions written here, rather than the Wikipedia section having been written as a balanced piece.

Whether or not the ABC's coverage of the Paris terrorist incidents was dangerous to the hostages remains a matter of personal opinion unless a suitably noteworthy source - a source that is actually about that ABC coverage - is found. Was a newspaper article written up on that exact point? If not, it isn't suitable for inclusion here either.

I have removed the elements that are clearly just personal opinion pushing and left the remaining items - which as it turns out, are fairly generic criticisms of rolling news stations.

Oxymoron: Live rolling news coverage
Surely the epithet "rolling" adds nothing to "live" in this context? I count four (4) occurrences of "rolling" and eleven (11) of "live". As far as I can tell, "rolling" is journalistic jargon, and I would prefer to use "live" instead, as I believe that by doing so more readers would understand it better. Thoughts? yoyo (talk) 04:43, 16 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I thought better of this, and looked it up in the OED! ;-)

News reports that are broadcast 24 hours a day; frequently attributive, especially designating a service, channel, or station devoted to this. My bad ...! yoyo (talk) 04:56, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, there is a difference in context between "rolling" and "live", whereby rolling is essentially continuous news reports/programming, opposed to live which could be a 30 second update followed by a prerecorded program (which is live but not rolling). You can also have continuous live news reporting, which would be BOTH live and rolling. -- Whats new?(talk) 06:02, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
