These are the guys (and they are mostly male) who write the headlines and they know Hanson makes better copy than Bartlett.<BR/><BR/>Interesting point you make about varied styles. Pictures are great and I think you have a definite talent there.Derek Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581505641163336050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17639100.post-34003275159639749752007-07-09T11:34:00.000+10:002007-07-09T11:34:00.000+10:00No worries at all, glad you liked it.I think your ...No worries at all, glad you liked it.<BR/><BR/>I think your detailed summary of the speech and my more 'tabloid' (in the sense that I use lots of video and pictures) approach work well together.<BR/><BR/>It's interesting that both our reports concentrated on the details of what happened, whereas the <A HREF="http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22038241-662,00.html" REL="nofollow">mainstream media report</A> led with Senator Bartlett's comments about Pauline Hanson, pushing the details of the speech to the bottom half of the report.<BR/><BR/>I really like the fact that bloggers are at least on the same playing field as the mainstream media. It's not a level playing field of course, but at least we have a chance to get in the game.David Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594699576390357505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17639100.post-42784533538884635072007-07-08T23:40:00.000+10:002007-07-08T23:40:00.000+10:00Thanks David and some great photos there.

Yours is a useful summary too.<BR/><BR/>cheers,<BR/>DerekDerek Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581505641163336050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17639100.post-52113371035193452022007-07-08T23:20:00.000+10:002007-07-08T23:20:00.000+10:00I was there as well...here's my report including p...I was there as well...<A HREF="http://www.brisbaneishome.com/brisbane-politics-senator-andrew-bartlett-of-the-australian-democrats-launches-his-re-election-campaign-video-and-photos/" REL="nofollow">here's my report including photos and videos.</A>David Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594699576390357505noreply@blogger.com
