It is no longer about what journalists and editors want, and how they wish to present it, but what the viewers, readers and listeners need.
Journalists must listen to and hear out their audiences to understand what to serve them, and how to deliver that content in a palatable way.
Fixing the Nation, which airs for four hours on NTV, Nation Radio and all of Nation Media Group’s digital platforms every morning on weekdays is the country’s leading current affairs programme, which has built a large loyal customer base because of its thematic focus and the rigour with which its presenters tackle issues.
Among those people who were attracted to the show, and who expected high standards of it is Mr Chris Harris. However, he now reports to the Public Editor that he has stopped watching it. Harris enumerated what he sees as the strengths and weaknesses of the three presenters – from what he terms nonsensical jokes, to competition to ask the most questions, and talking a lot.
