Presumably from Paris to begin with? I'm surprised the Papers isn't simulcast.
That's correct.

They also have an obligation to ensure their presenters and crew were as safe as possible.
How would cutting away from something make the presenters and crew safer?
I wonder why they felt the need to cut to Jon at that point, unless they thought something was going to happen that they didn't want to broadcast?

She is annoying at times but that was all uncalled for earlier this afternoon - it's well known that dogs can pick up on the emotions around them, better than certain Sky News presenters for example. And it did inspire a great meme though which I think was a welcome distraction after the weekends events.

What? He's only finished reading the first link? Crazy post!
Tom Bradby replaces Mark Austin on ITV News live from Paris. Tom seems to be much better then when he's in the studio.

Err - by letting them concentrate on staying safe rather than distracting them by continuing to broadcast.

They were still staying safe while on air by following police orders and taking cover though. I'm sure if things got rough they'd just do what they'd have to do and not worry about being on air.
But never mind, let's not dwell on this.

CNN have 6 anchors in Paris so far - I've seen Christiane Amanpour, John Burman, Chris Cuomo, Hala Gorani, Anderson Cooper and have just seen Erin Burnett.
Very well done to CNN, their coverage has been great! Amazing for an American network to send so many anchors in Paris. Just a shame about their enormous graphics
Meanwhile, NBC have anchors Erica Hill (Today) and Lester Holt (Nightly News) in Paris. It seems Savannah is now in Paris for tomorrows programme too, not too sure.

That's easy to say in hindsight but in the moment you might not realise you're in danger, and do your best to stay on the air regardless. Sometimes you need someone like a director to point out the obvious and take the decision out of your hands.

It seems a little excessive the numbers of reporters and presenters over in Paris at the moment, surely these times of budget cuts would mean broadcasters and producers coordinating to send across less correspondents especially BBC News.
Does anyone know how many presenters and reporters are in Paris from BBC News, Sky News, ITV News, Channel 4 News etc. etc... ?
