I watched quite a bit of coverage yesterday on BBC News, Sky News and the Panorama special - and also caught Newsbeat covering it at teatime. I thought they'd spend the full 15 minutes on it but they covered it in less than 4 minutes and it was just as informative as any other coverage.Certainly. There's always been a tendency among certain programmes and outlets to conflate 'analysis' and spending more time saying the same thing. Other than the biggest 'category A' stories, there's rarely any need to spend more than about 5/6 minutes on even lead stories.
