I’m sitting here flicking between Sky News and BBC News 24 watching footage of the stranded whale found in the River Thames. It’s been interesting to watch. I really do hope they can save it, as it’d be a real shame, both for the whale, and for all the people who have come together so quickly to mount this rescue operation.
I always find it interesting to compare news, so I’ve been flicking back and forth between Sky and the BBC. The BBC somehow managed to lose all their cameras, presumeably whilst moving them to a better vantage point, so were playing old footage for ages. Sky were following with a helicopter, but in true News Corp fashion, managed to rush news items out, such as one of their reporters finding a baby whale, but this was reported before any sort of confirmation. Later reports pointed to it being a dead dolphin.
Be interesting to see how this pans out.
