Bush Radio Newsroom blog rant

“Eight-year old allegedly hit and killed brother” 1 Comment – rafiq said…What happened to community news?
I find thet quality & originality of the stories of late to be very, very lacking.
It’s like every second story is a rework of something as repoted by Independant Online.
Do you sit in the newsroom reading IOL all day? We already read the Argus & co. I turned to the Bush Radio newsroom blog to find stories that are relevant to Cape Town that the big news companies didn’t cover now it appears that your are spending more time covering IOL than anything else. http://bushradionews.blogspot.com/search?q=Independent+Online
I await your teams response.
PS: This comment will be published at http://www.rafiq.za.net/blog too.

Yes there are typos, I’m not a journalist, but the team at Bush Radio Newsroom are students enroute to becoming journos.

Have you read these yet?

I'm sure you have something to say or tweet about this. Why not post a comment below or @rafiq me...

What a depressing “news” blog. The only positive story on the entire home page is this one – http://bushradionews.blogspot.com/2006/12/western-cape-top-perfomers-announced.html#links
It’s more of a splog IMO. Copy and Paste from all the other real news sites. Shame.

TYFYC Jason – The Bush Rdaio Newsroom blog has nt alwasy been this way. I’ve been a read since they use the default blogger theme, they updated the look of the blog but downgraded the quality of the ‘news’ they’re blogging. makes no sense, maybe its a new batch of bush radio journos, not sure.
