Friday's London Go had dodgy camera angles (nothing new).





And a serious point regarding Farage.

London Live's job vacancies page has some interesting parts about the editorial of this channel.

For part of the key repsonbilties for an editor.

Quote:
Originate ideas that work across the entire business and have a measurable impact on audiences on linear and non-linear platforms.

To create original and challenging new formats across the news, current affairs and entertainment news genres, which will work for our more urban, younger audience base.

Exploit technology and interactivity to challenge the norm for News and set new standards for how viewers are integrated into content.

No coverage last night of the Camden Market Fire. A big London news story ignored while it was happening. Viewers photos of it today! Pathetic!!

I thought this two-way the other day on how to find out more about the elections was firmly in the 'worthy but dull' category that Vikki Cook promised they'd be avoiding...

I have to say I haven't watched Wake Up London in weeks. Has it got any better?

I last watched it on Friday. It's only saving grace that it's not GMB.

Alex Beard has covered Headline London so far this week.

Camden Market is as target audience as you can get, isn't that where all the young hipsters that they are targetting hang out? Or presumably all the staff were out there as well and they had no news resources at that time of night.

Their journalists were on Twitter asking for permission for pics during the event. Incidentally, one pic had a journalist from LL and another from the Standard requesting permission. So much for sharing resources.

If you can't cover news for your target audience properly, then you're doomed.

The journalists/ media organisations asking for consent to use their photos is standard procedure and in some cases, the viewer is directly notified via a disclaimer should you submit comments/photos/ videos to their social media accounts, you are consenting for its use in television.

I understand the procedure, but does it really need two journalists in the same building to ask for the same permission?

because they are different editorial teams. hardly a massive strain on resources in any case

Yes I'd suggest in this case they'd just be slowing themselves down if they had to figure out if anyone else in their company was requesting permission.

Coverage of the London Election results would seem an obvious thing for them to do tomorrow night. Preempt normal programming. However it does not look like this is going to happen!
