With the recent announcement of staff redundancies, and more to follow, ten are well on their way to having a one-to-one correspondence between management and actual news-gathering journalists.
Ten would do well to have a look at a beehive to consider what happens when there are too many queen bees and drones, and not enough workers making honey (rhymes with money).
Nothing against Choueifate though. I’m sure he’ll do a fine a job at rearranging the deckchairs and reporting to Meakin – “no news is good news”, right?
To direct who?
Boom tish!
If anyone can do that job well, it’s John Choueifate with decades of experience. Great appointment.
Here’s a thought Ten, stop wasting money on high paying managerial roles and use that money to retain top quality reporters/presenters. Meakin’s sitting around doing very little now that Ten only produce 7hrs of news bulletins a week, he hardly needs anymore millionaire sidekicks.
