(Tutting eyebrows) James, I was implying that you were critising Moira's love child - the one, the only Finigan. Forget it...
I'm going to start a campaign for better chairs, my arse is so numb it's unreal.

BBC World's "Putting News Campaign" has been mentioned on America's very popular tv news blog - TV Newser. Apparently, its a very influential site as many executives in the industry keep tabs on whats happening in the biz by visiting the site. Btw, its run by a 20 year old student at Towson University and gets over 40,000 hits a day.

I don't like the campaign. Ok, the new tv promos are much nicer than the first three ones but after seeing them once they just bore me... I'd rather seeing adverts or the countdown.

This might be a little off topic, but I just cannot resist bringing it up...
What is happening now in Niger and Mali is absolutely horrific and every time I see those poor little children die in front of the camera, it really makes me feel sick. At these moments, I start thinking about the way we live and complain about tiny things like one percent less purchasing power...
Sometimes, I think, we need to see the kind of pictures screened yesterday and today all over BBC News. Not only to make us aware of what is going on outside our 'gated society', but also to realise that there is more on this planet than stolen biscuits and runaway pets planet.
The people who suffer every day live on that same planet, yet in a different world. It's a shame BBC News seems to be the only media outlet who pays attention and spends time on this crisis. No, personnaly, you cannot do much to stop people dying, but I hope charities, governments and international organisations can.
What is interesting tough, about these kind of reports, is that they are usually first aired on the 10 o'clock news on BBC 1 and in the following hours/day on BBC World.

I agree. It always impresses me how the 10 discards the usual news agenda that all other channels & programmes are following and goes with an African story as first story.

A block of BBC News 24 (in fact I believe it usually ends up being the N24/World overnight simulcast) programming is carried on the British Forces Broadcasting Service. I understand that this is made available under the licence fee (given that they're all licence fee payers), whereas any deal with BBC World would have to be negotiated commercially.

On the new series last night on BBC One about HMS Chatham in the Gulf, they featured a number of reports about the Tsunami last Boxing Day.
Strange thing was they were watching the news on News 24, not BBC World - even though they were anchored off Dubai.
How come?

BBC News 24 is also broadcasted on 7E, encryption method is Cryptoworks, presumably the same as BFBS.

As I mentioned over on the Best thread, I was surprised that someone at BBC World took the decision to lead with this, and not only lead, but devote half of the entire bulletin to the story.
Don't get me wrong, I am NOT suggesting that this is not a newsworthy story, but I don't think it should have led the BBC World bulletins. CNNI did cover the story - of course, all organisations did - but it was somewhere down the running order, and not at the top of the hour.
Of course, ITN, N24 and Sky's decision to lead with it in the UK is prefectly understandable. But World viewers, I would imagine, were a bit perplexed by this extended leading coverage.
((RIP George and all the "best" of luck to your family. No pun intended.))
