Our so called 'new' and 'different' local channel has joined the circus as well.

ZNS..CABLE BAHAMAS..and JCN, these suckas only hire 9-5 workers. The news they play at 6.30, 7.00 or 7.30 is the same newscast they play later in the night.

Here we have a Cabinet shuffle. Not ONE a dem was on live to dicuss it. Thank God for the internet and BI.

I mean deaths, whether accident or homocide, breaking news, good news or bad news, all have to wait untill tommorow.

Now I must admit, for about an hour and a half, I did not watch TV, so if i"m wrong lemma know.

But in this day and time, something MUST be wrong with that.

RANT OVER!! I gern ta bed. Curb your Enthusiam and The Daily Show coming on soon.

in some states in the u.s. stations would interupt shows to bring breaking news. i thought why dnt zns do it also but i quickly realized nobody watches zns unless news on. oh well.....

Trust me, it's worse than "merely" neglecting to broadcast important breaking news! In fact, while I could easily include in this box several specific examples of shortcomings by the local mass media, one example will suffice to make my point.

In its reporting of the positive news on the city of Nassau (The "Quality of Life" scale by the international consulting firm, Mercer), at least one major local daily rewrote the facts. Literally!!

We read in that newspaper, correctly, that Nassau has been ranked 51 on the scale for personal safety.

But we also got this gem of a sentence: "In its 2008 quality of living survey, Mercer has ranked Nassau, Bahamas at number 51 of 215 countries on its personal safety list."

The fact, however, is that 215 cities, and not countries as the article erroneously stated, were surveyed. This confusinon of the word "countries" with "cities," of course, makes a world of difference to our interpretation of that news story!

But it gets even better. That same newspaper wrote, "This year, the country's capital has been rated as number 51 on the prestigious list and ranked highest among the Caribbean countries."

That is true about the ranking, but of course the impact of this is diminished when we learn the true fact that only two English-speaking Caribbean countries were included in the survey.

Shortest thread ever: Yes. Its a 10am to 3:30pm job, 4½ days a week, with 1½ hours off for lunch every day. No work on holidays either.

Fa tru. And they don't even have a "nose for news", just waiting to see what's been reported on the beat. They couldn't investigate themselves out of a paper bag.

Edit - And let's not talk about these broken links on the Nassau Guardian website. :mad:

WELL MAYBE IF THEIR SALES DEPT WOULD GET OFF THEIR BUTS AND SELL THE STATION LIKE PRIVATE STATIONS DO THEN ZNS COULD AFFORD ANOTHER ANCHOR JUST FOR THE EVENING NEWS... BECAUSE I AM SURE WE DO NOT EXPECT FOR HE SAME PEOPLE TO WORK ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT TOO.. THAT WOULD BE SLAVERY... SEE IN THE REAL WORLD THOSE TV STATIONS HAVE SALES DEPTS THAT ACTUALLY SELL THEM... ZNS HAS AN EXTREMELY WEAK SALES TEAM..... THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM IS, NOT IN THE JOURNALISM IT SELF...:cutie:

PS WHEN U WANT THAT KIND OF COVERAGE IT LITERALLY COSTS!!!:jawdroop:
