Q U A L I T Y J O U R N A L I S M - ePISODE 1

Today, Feb 14, 2014 - Channel Nine News Australia Online:


Referring to the disruptive eruption of Mt. Kelud (Gunung Kelud) today in Indonesia, this was Channel Nine's opening gambit, in big letters..:



- "Flights from Australia to Bali, Jakarta and Phuket have been cancelled after a volcanic eruption on the Indonesian island of Jakarta..."


Now, I'm not Doctor Geography, but last time I checked, Jakarta was a city on the island of Java.

Reading on, however, I realised it was obviously a test, the great spirit of the Kerry Packer attempting to determine whether your viewership be worthy with a few simple spelling tests. Did you get "tomoroow" actually means "tomorrow" (as in the day after today), and "Surbaya" actually means "Surabaya", a major city in east Java?

But hey, they're just starting out. Give 'em a chance ;D



- T-flo Management, keeping it real (by using a catch phrase devised by peoples else in a distant land whom we've never really got to know personally). Let's try it again - Teflon Management, attempting to cast a light on the intelligence and spelling errors of a major Australian news network. Yes! Enjoy :D
