Ms Celene Craig:

I completely understand what Senator McGahon is saying. In the moment, currency is the word when it comes to delivering up-to-date news on broadcasting services. Very often, they are trying to establish the facts and ensure their sources, particularly in an international context, are giving factually correct information. The Senator gave some examples of things happening on the other side of the globe. There is always an urgency to ensure information comes from a reliable source. Often, the key thing is to report the event itself as opposed to having time to reflect on it.

That point of reflecting on what all of this is about may be the task of a different type of programme or content.
