I rarely watch either - TV news in this country is utterly useless these days :(. So true - the way they use emotive language and music when they report things is atrocious; newsreaders should only state the facts, and let the inherent sensibilities of the information speak. |

| 808256 | 2009-09-11 11:58:00 | In case you missed the previous updates. | Erayd (23) | ||

| 808259 | 2009-09-13 10:08:00 | Am I alone in expressing dismay at the quality (or lack of) English being spoken by today's TVOne news readers? :( :( Lol do you have a link to whatever the "effluent" thing was? I'd love to see that. There's another word that they seem not to be able to pronounce but I forget what it is |

| 808260 | 2009-09-13 11:25:00 | Can anyone remember when the news readers spoke with an English plum in the mouth accent like Bill Toft and that Angela chick not sure of her surname (died of cancer). I dont care about quality of English while reporting news as long as they are interesting and humorous although they dont have to be funny reporting a catastrophe lol. That chick on 3s news is my fav as well as looking tidy she has a lots of cool phrases for weather phenomena. NZ English is always evolving so lets have a bit of fun with the language. We dont have to speak the Queens English like they do back in Oxford and Cambridge Pomgolia. |

| 808261 | 2009-09-13 19:48:00 | That's true I just wish people who get paid to speak could actually speak and not interject every sentence with several um's, err's and arr's | gary67 (56) | ||
| 808262 | 2009-09-14 00:23:00 | That's true I just wish people who get paid to speak could actually speak and not interject every sentence with several um's, err's and arr's And I wish they would learn how and where to place emphasis. Misplaced emphasis can entirely alter the meaning. A really bad example a few years ago where the local ZM station was reporting a brawl in one of the Wellington outer suburbs. First, the news item gave the version of events from one of the bystanders. Next up was the Police version. Instead of reading "The Police say ...", the newsreader said "The Police say ..." If anybody can't get what I'm driving at, try reading those two versions aloud, emphasising only the bold words in each. When I pointed this out to the lightweights at ZM, they would only say that the newsreader spoke the words verbatim from the script. :2cents: BTW Prefect, I think you were talking about Angela D'Audney, and I agree with your post. |

| 808263 | 2009-09-14 03:45:00 | It grates me to hear newspeople pronounce 'twenny'. Kevin Milne (and 'gonna') is one of the worst for this but weatherforecasters also fall into this laziness. |
