I will like to thanks for tv6 Trinidad's second TV station which is owned by CCN part of Trinidad Express for its improvement in its 7 pm news on mar 1 like enhanced weather forecast, improved regional, local and international news keep up the good work.

Yes their new layout seems more professional, but it is long overdue. I hope to see a greater improvement in their reporting though. Their reports talk like they are tired or not really interested in what they are doing.

CCN has come a very long way from their debut to now. TV6 itself has gotten better overall but the news could use one major thing, follow up. News is sensational but no investigative journalism to follow up with what happened. We need som undercover operation and some more demanding questions of politicans and the police.

Yes I do agree that TV6 news has improved their outlook but now, they need to send all their reporters to train abroad. The quality of news is extremely poor at TV6 and all the other stations for that matter. I remember one night, hearing a young reporter commenting on a primary school and mentioning this:

"The girl pupil had complained..."

Imagine that! The girl pupil! Where did this reporter go to school? Did anyone ever teach her about male and female students or pupils. Girl pupil is a local expression and should not be used in reporting. I always shudder and hope that no foreigners are watching! I think the problem is, getting involved in the media is not very easy. The hours are long, the job is very demanding and stressful and in some instances, the pay is very poor. As a result of a high turnover, the television stations seem to be focusing on appearance rather than quality reporting. Yes it is important to be well groomed but even more important to speak standard english properly. After all, Trinis are not the only ones viewing, foreigners are watching too!

You really can't hold them for grammar when the country's leaders do the same. I think the anchors should go among the people more and pick some educated ones for comments. I get frustrated with the no brain comments they pickup from people knowing nothing about nothing.

I don't understand what your point is here Indianchick. The purpose of the media is to accurately inform the public what is going on in the country and various parts of the world. It is crucial for the reporters to speak and write standard english since Trinibagonians are not the only ones watching the local news. When foreigners come here, I have to wonder what they think about us after listening to TV6 news.....

Don't wonder Geenie, we already know, they think we are very backward. I think we are very backward as well. Trinis need to understand that tall buildings, holding Summits and in this case speaking dialect during a broadcast does not build 'class', charisma or integrity. We can't be all hard though, there are very professional presenters on TV6, they cannot supersede the policy of the station, so they do the best they can within the bounds of their job.
