Let's talk about the standard and tone of newsreaders, we have touched on it before. A few days ago I listened to a bulletin on a national radio station. The two lead items; the deaths of three members of a Co. Down family in a farming accident and the discovery of the body of an eleven year old girl in a house in Tullamore were delivered in the chirpy manner you would expect for coverage of the birth of a baby panda at Dublin Zoo. No attempt was made to make the delivery appropriate to the subject matter. Shocking stuff.
