I'm confused about 'money saving policies' at BBC News.
Tonight we had a report on the Ten live from Plymouth about a UXB being found which required the evacuation of 100s of people. Good reporting by Jenny Kumah labelled as 'South West of England Correspondent'.
20 minutes later I get an updated report on Spotlight live from Plymouth, from exactly the same location in the same street, but from the local reporter Janine Jansen who explained clearly that she had been there all day.
Why the duplication? What money was saved by having two reporters? Janine Jansen is a regular reporter and also stand in presenter for the main bulletins. Why could she not do the report for the Ten?
