| 539613 | 2007-04-10 05:15:00 | Actually, I have been reading quite a few overseas news sites like the Beeb recently (I know... it's the school hols and I'm bored!). I have observed that a number of our NZ 'newspapers' have been popping up with stories that were already around overseas at least 2 days previously... it's almost a time warp. Of more concern is that stories are regurgitated almost word for word- cheap journalism I say. Well some of that is not "regurgitation" but licensing - half the stuff comes from REUTERS and the Herald uses lots of stuff from The Independant. |

| 539617 | 2007-04-10 05:31:00 | You mean they licence a story about a pussy catching the No.9 bus? :horrified They may do :lol: Let's wait and see. I bet you anything that if some English TV crew has done a piece on it it will turn up on our TV news. After all, the public's right to know takes precadence over other concerns .... |

| 539618 | 2007-04-10 05:37:00 | I mean this is the World news on the Herald today: Chinese official fired for having too many kids - Reuters East Timor poll results likely out tomorrow - Reuters Howard sends 300 special forces troops to Afghanistan - AAP (Australian Associated Press) Tourist docks with space station - Reuters UK police arrest third suspect over teen's death - Reuters Big Brother creeps into British schools - Independant etc etc None of those stories are exclusive to the Herald, so you'll see the same story on sites all around the world. |

| 539620 | 2007-04-10 05:56:00 | LOL Laura, only a Southlander would admit to that :lol: I'm very fond of Southland, Shortcircuit. But last time I looked, the Dunedin & Central Otago below my name were both still in Otago. (Mutters ....bombay hills & j afas & taxi drivers who don't know where they're going...) |
