Seven News accuses Nine of pinching news footage

More watermark wars: Seven unimpressed as Nine gets creative when it misses out on a news interview.

Just days after Nine complained about pooled footage being branded as “First on Seven”, Seven has hit back over news footage it claims Nine pinched.

Greensborough DJ and personal trainer Jade Gormley was the victim of a home invasion when three men allegedly broke into her home and threatened her.

Seven reporter Paul Dowsley was first at her house and interviewing her when a Nine News reporter stepped in, apparently uninvited. But the woman told him to leave.

“Nine missed the interview, and then took it from Seven’s 4pm news and ran it in their 6pm lead story with a two second credit to Seven News,” a Seven spokesperson said.

A Nine spokesperson said their story carried a credit to Seven for the vision.

  1. I thought Parliamentarians were bad enough with their childish behaviour but it seems TV executives are tarred with the same brush. Grow up people.

  2. Ha ha ha! Good one, David, you almost had me there!

    At first I thought the Koche story was the April Fool’s joke, but then I thought “no, two media organisations who’s entire reputations are based on honesty and public respect would never stoop to such a stupid and petty spat, so this must be it”…
