h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have become increasingly aware that news has become more about ratings than about delivering information. Sadly, this week a family of five lost their lies while on holiday, in a light airplane crash. The police had yet to contact family and the media leaked the names of the deceased family. I can only well imagine some hungry journalist out there saying 'Let's run with this so we can be the first to break the story'. Journalistic integrity has been tossed out of the window, only to be replaced by blinding ambition with no morals.
What bugs me the most is news readers. In Australia, on the three commercial channels, all news reader fit into the anglo-australian demographic. They emulate US news readers by making small talk with eachother, this fake facade, superficial at the best of times. The expressions they use when reading the news, they seem to be able to switch from a sad concerned face to a happy interested face depending on what the story requires.
There is however a channel where news readers and journalists have integrity, they exhume intelligence. I wish the commercial channels would look towards SBS (Special Broadcasting Services) and try to return to what journalism's core is all about.
