The Daily Mash has taken a satirical view of Natasha Kaplinsky’s high-profile move to Five News…
On a serious note, is it right that someone is being paid one million pounds every year to stand in a warm studio and read off an autocue for half an hour? It could be argued that the people who should be receiving the huge pay packets are the correspondents who travel to all corners of the globe and risk their lives to bring us the news.Natasha Kaplinsky will start each bulletin by staring straight into the camera and slowly sucking on her pencil as the new £1-million-a-year face of Five News.
Station bosses have asked the newsreader to end each item by flicking her tongue around her lips, arching her back and then cupping her breasts in her hands and moving them alternately up and down.Kaplinsky said: "I was not sure at the outset it was such a good idea, and I am really not interested in the £1 million, but in the end I thought I would just do it anyway."

Yep,the very correspondents that media organisations are getting rid of and replacing with local agency staff.Thus being able to afford the wages of these media stars.
I think we've taken the right route for our degree. I was tempted to study broadcast journalism - but I reckon there are more job opportunites in print and online journalism.
