Point taken, but not absolutely convinced that lack of technical services were to blame. I have seen live news coverage aired from a mobile phone. My point is that in my opinion I think that people decide what is GOOD news, and what do people want to see. Is the average Aussie Joe worried what is happening in Pakistan ? Maybe on the Cricket pitch ! Do we care about what is happening in Japan ? Of course we do. We drive Toyotas, ride Hondas , use Nikon and Canon cameras, and Japaness tourists come here in their thousands. It's always the same. Supply and Demand.
