Apathy on the Beeb
by Duncan O'Leary
Perhaps foolishly I expected them to appear at the top of the page (where the headlines are) but they never turned up – heading straight to the bottom of the page where the more minor stories are situated. Checking back to the top of the page again I realised that ‘New playstation set for May debut’ and ‘Victims brother pleads for sharks’ actually featured higher in the running order. Is this simply a product of all the briefing that goes on before these events (for example, we all knew that Defence spending/overseas aid would be up), or do we just not really care?
