"Believe it or not, you still need someone who is half-decent at either journalism, and can sit in front of a camera."
Yup, "half-decent" about covers most of them. Nothing you couldn't get from regional local-access TV for a tenth of the wage.
Local news, local radio, local sport, that is all the ABC should be doing. Offering services which are not already catered for.
The left-wing 'opinion' websites are already served by Fairfax and The Guardian.
