I don't know if this was posted before... but it seems there's some sort of Twitter abuse to those who have crossed the picket line last time... Do they really have to do this?

World Service news programme 'Newshour' seems to be off air. Bulletins still happening, but presented by the Presentation Editor, not an announcer. He clearly just miss-timed the opt at the bottom of the hour as he was cut off mid sentence.

I also saw the "Recorded" bug earlier. It really looks bad on screen.

Those who choose to work shouldn't be subject to abuse, on twitter or anywhere else.

EDIT: BBC WN is now airing The Culture Show... I guess they aired it a bit too early from it's original schedule?


Not the most thought through article, though.

Quote:
Even weather presenter Carol Kirkwood fell foul of the tweets, the newspaper said.

Carol works for the Met Office - so wasn't eligible to strike - but the article makes no reference to that. The article equally doesn't make clear if Sopel, Landale and clearly at least two properly-staffed teams out there had the support of their colleagues - at least at Millbank - given they would have been sent out and started working on it pre-strike, were covering a pretty important story, and neither Sopel or Landale have worked during previous strikes. And given the capacity she was working, I'm willing to bet Lucy Hockings was meant to cover that story - strike or not - and is either freelance or non-NUJ.

But I suppose it's much easier to just quote some tweets and not do any actual reporting.

I think Shelagh Fogarty has always been on strike before. So this might not be particularly well supported...


Shelagh certainly didn't always strike when she was on the Breakfast show, though I'm not so sure about more recent years.

Neither should staff from management.

The Culture Show has just ended on BBC World News, so should we, WN viewers, expect a BBC News at One simulcast?

Even the programme trailers are repeated from an hour ago!
