AUSTRALIA’S NETWORK TEN BOOSTS ITS ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE CHANGE NEWS COVERAGE
December 17th 2007 22:59
Network Ten has created a national environment reporting unit with boosted climate change coverage because of the growing importance Australians are placing on the issue.
Emily Rice, 28, a former Adelaide Advertiser journalist and most recently a general reporter in Ten's Adelaide bureau, will be the face of Ten's environment coverage, The Australian reports..
Ten news director Jim Carroll said the network would treat the environment as a dedicated round, on a par with state politics and police.
"This is a network role, like our Los Angeles or UK correspondent," he said.
Rice, who earlier this month was named rural journalist of the year at the South Australian Rural Media Awards, said the most pressing issues nationally were climate change and water.
