| 1186343 | 2011-03-15 09:47:00 | I am seeing lots of reports on the BBC and CNN. They have a headline about the nuclear power plants (which I am interested and scared about, reading). They repeat a whole lot of information and then they talk about the tsunami and other recovery events etc. Why mix the two stories up ? To me they are entirely different. Rescuing people and finding bodies etc one story and is nothing to do with the power station problems. |

| 1186344 | 2011-03-15 19:46:00 | If you look at the NZ news media you would be excused for thinking that the earthquake and Tsunami hadn't happened and the only thing was the nuke issue. Front page on the NZ Herald today. "Nuclear Panic" | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1186345 | 2011-03-15 20:10:00 | Yeah it is really frustrating me too. Sensationalism at it's worst. The nuclear threat is not all that bad. Look up what happened at Three Mile Island. I reckon the Jap nuke chaps are doing a great job with the cards they've been dealt. The reactors all behaved sweet after the earthquake, it was the Tsunami that threw a spanner in the works. They are operating far outside of even the most far thinking contingency plans now and are doing a pretty damn good job by all accounts. |

If you call that a good result, then that's OK. Yes they did have a lot of bad luck No Power Generators not working 5 out of 6 pumps in one reactor not working I still don't think a news reporter should give a report from Japan and cover the two features in one report. |

| 1186347 | 2011-03-15 22:15:00 | So you want the news reporters to separate the subjects? Nuclear story. Tsunami story. Earthquake story. So you get a reporter at a nuclear reactor and is asking questions. Elicit the fact that a pump failed or whatever. It would be hard for the reporter not to ask the interviewee how he feels working there. Stories, by definition almost, are intertwined otherwise they are sentences, paragraphs etc. |

| 1186348 | 2011-03-15 22:26:00 | Yes but just 2 subject And I'd like separate reporters of each Nuclear story Earthquake/Tsunami And the can tell me how they feel |
