Re: UKNM: More Realism on TV

[Alex Tanner]

Tim... I was sad enough. And I agree... absolute rubbish, both from a

journalistic and production angle (so that's my TV career done for). I

think this also brings about a debate on the nature of modern journalism...

the sensationalist viewpoint builds both audience and is basically easier

for a journalist to produce (why bother doing the research eh?)


However, I have noticed a difference in attitude between those journalists

who write full time on new media (who largely have their feet on the

ground) and those that don't, who seem to have an axe to grind because

they're not involved in a startup/have missed out on the IPO boom. IMHO

it's sad, unprofessional and immature.


When the guys on the nationals crow about the dotcom bubble bursting

(thereby forcibly reducing market confidence which is in essence all any

market responds to) don't they realise that it's their pension

fund/endowment/any financial investment that is also being adversely

affected?
