A quote from Kim Andrew Elliot’s post<\/a> (sourced stats from Famagusta Gazette Online Edition<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Expats in Cyprus prefer their news without analysis. Online survey indicates EuroNews is most popular among expats in Cyprus.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Agreed.<\/p>\n

One other advantage of EuroNews that wasn’t mentioned is the total absence of the “talking head”.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s funny sometimes to see how each of the news channels tries to solve the problem of the news reader, who doesn’t have much to do while reading the news.\u00c2\u00a0 The poor news readers are bounced around the studio, separated into corners or grouped around one table, sitting or standing or sitting again, with empty hands or a piece of paper and a pencil or a laptop computer which is probably switched off because nobody ever looks at it, etc…<\/p>\n

EuroNews solved the puzzle years ago.\u00c2\u00a0 They don’t show the news reader at all.\u00c2\u00a0 Brilliant!\u00c2\u00a0 It’s TV for crowing out loud.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s about moving pictures.\u00c2\u00a0 Show me the footage from the location.\u00c2\u00a0 Show me a graphs and scans.\u00c2\u00a0 Show me a marquee line or a visual effect if you can’t think of anything else.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 But don’t show me the talking head!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
