Live coverage of a wide range of events is a key part to making a modern newsroom tick.
It’s a nervous time for us New Zealanders. First off, we’re waiting, again, to find out if Winston Peters will, again, be the kingmakerI interviewed Peters for the Canterbury University student newspaper on my way out of the country in 1999 and felt he looked like a bit of a spent force. How wrong I was! He’s still going strong at 78 years of age and may again be at the Beehive’s fulcrum.In my defence his government did lose the election a few weeks after our interview.
That hasn’t lasted of course as the social platform owners have wound back the presence of news in the algorithm hierarchy and users have, rightly, become much more suspicious about the quality of “news” posts that arrive in their feeds. I want to call out too producers who work behind the scenes reading through the blogs, checking, tightening and generally improving the product you get as a reader.Some days we have multiple blogs running at once on different topics which requires nimble homepage editors, tracking developments to keep headlines and photos current with the latest events in the blog.
Over and above that there are discussions internally about how we might more prominently signal to readers when we are reporting something that is only just breaking. Watch this space.
