I got word from Google Play Store that a new closed caption feature is now available in the Sky News android app. It tells me that when you play live video content; the cc's can be turned on or off while you are livestreaming Sky News in the app. I did try it there a little while ago. The cc text looks very big for a new feature on the app. The landscape mode bring out the smaller cc text at the bottom of the livestream as opposed to the larger sized text in portrait mode. Has anyone tried this new feature on the app itself?

Back when Sky News Active was a thing (when they had the big newswall across the back of the studio and they used it for pretty much everything), there was a camera view that quite often showed the presenter throwing to a reporter via the big screen on air, and then most presenters just pretty much ignored everything the correspondent said while faffing around with a computer or some papers or some other stuff while the correspondent spoke about whatever had happened at whatever location they were standing in.

I'm pretty sure most of those throws / two ways are relatively scripted to an extent, unless somebody just happens to be in the right place at the right time for some instant reaction to breaking news of the National Guard being sent in because somebody's cat is stuck up a tree

An ironic blunder: A female guest contributor was offered less reciprocation (and initially none) than the male one... on the recent GB News debacle.

Offered less, or she asked for less? Pretty sure the onus is on the guest to name their rate. If she agreed to go on for free then more fool her.

That said, I’m surprised he got so much. You’ll have some presenters on less for a whole shift.

From the article it says ...In a separate post she explained she does not ask for fees for ten-minute interviews.

In that case, for me, it looks like she played Sky to raise a point about the topic being discussed.

It was initially billed as a short interview, and eventually she was informed it was actually going to be a debate - a tactic often pulled to try and get trans people into "debates" they would (rightly) never have agreed to otherwise.

I don’t think that’s what happened at all, unless the other contributor was in on it as he was the one who mentioned being paid.

SJM's latest Insta story has a shot of what looks like Milbank setup for Yalda's show (presumably a rehearsal).

That Telegraph headline, TO ME... is a bit wonky. Instead of GUEST the main headline should have said CONTRIBUTOR. Because immediately I thought "why are they paying for interviews?" Contributors fine, of course. But, to me, it reads a bit wonky... initially.
