Sad Times….
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!

C News 12 May 2008
This week’s C News update. had a good chat to my coach tonight and he is happy with my progress and said he doesn’t want to see me again until August, which I guess is a good thing!
Extra Work
A little while ago I was approached by a professor at uni, who happens to be running my scholarship. (but he’s not my supervisor) He asked me if I would edit his book. It would be a simple 4 hours work he said. Hey if someone offers to pay me to do something, anything, I’ll do it.
So now not only am I working 3-4 days at the hotel, plus one day at channel 31, I am a research assistant. BUT once I agreed to this 4 hours work, I am told “well…actually we don’t know how long it is going to take, but you just keep working and we’ll pay you until you finish”
Three weeks later…
No but seriously, the book is fantastic, I keep getting side tracked from editing because i am engrossed in the writing! If anyone knows the structure of the book “Who killed Channel 9?”, it is similar to that, and by that I mean it is a factual book that has been made really interesting.
Anyway just wanted to say I really like this book…

This week’s C news update…a little strange looking at my eyes going crazy there!
Finally!
After much stress and waiting I am finally back on the CNews – Channel 31, 8pm and 10pm Monday nights…check it out!
I tried posting my recording from last week but I’m a blogging newby and have no idea how. I wasn’t overly excited about it anyway as it was my first week back after 5 months so i was a little rusty but hopefully we can see some improvement over the coming weeks!
