Sad Times….

June 2, 2008 at 8:00 am (About Me!) (, )

I recieved an email on Friday notifying me that CNews has been axed. That’s right, no longer will you be witness to my fantastic talents every week on this blog. How sad.

Turns out our mate Johnno Brumby decided to cut most of his funding to Channel 31 so people have been made redundant and a couple of shows canned. No longer will young journalists be able to gain the skills necessary to even make it to regional TV, let alone commercial networks. This is a detriment to the media industry and should be stopped (or started…).

So I am going to Tasmania for the next two weeks to do some work with Southern Cross TV down there, then a week in Ballarat, and I guess after that I’ll try my hand at SYN FM a community radio station and do some news reading for them. If all else fails…perhaps I’ll just pick another degree and continue to be a uni bum!
