I have just removed my ramblings from a recent thread...
Unfortunately it was on yet another accident in our industry.
I am sure the topic has been covered before and apologies for not doing a search.
Yes, I am too lazy to... but more importantly so will those that this thread is directed at. News has a shelf life of 2 days.
A good journalist uses a reliable eyewitness to piece together an account of an incident so the rest of us can be informed.
I cannot think of any journalistic effort even getting close, - even more so if eye witness versions are supposedly used.
In my experience most reports in Newspapers and TV would be about 50% truthful at best. Much is inaccurate, fabrication, sensationalism or just lack of any common sense or knowledge.
The media would be well advised to have access to someone who can advise, and hopefully remove some of the errors before it goes to Press.
Some papers would be just as well out of the game, we are getting close to reports of crocodiles flying about in UFO's on Student licences...
and no, I don't buy the local rag supposedly
getting reliable facts into the public domain
of a certain northern Aussie capital.
Flight international and Aviation Week are ok, many of the reporting in other print media is rubbish.
50% is a failing grade to many.....
Bad journos just get away with it..... think how they would fare in a regulated environment where they were subject to regular re-examination, scrutinised and then castigated by all for any errors they made.
They know J***S*** about anything aviation related.
Let the truth prevail..
( this is not the thread to be having this discussion, - it is not the place for dirt diggers either)
Another sad day for aviation, condolences to all involved
