Thread: Another shooting in New Lynn yesterday

Well I'm not trying to be argumentative, but put yourself in the position of the reporters.

They go to the scene, talk to police, talk to police headquarters, and the police are saying nothing yet, because they've only just detained the perps and don't want to prejudice, the coming charges and court cases, by talking about things, that may be relied on as evidence.

So the reporters have little to go on, other than the limited police information and a few random citizens, who may or may not have seen something, that may or may not be accurate.

Additionally the media have been crucified in recent times, for publishing stuff that later turned out to be misinformation or disinformation, so they're cautious about saying things, that aren't able to be verified.

So if { He was "injured". By a bloody bullet fired from a handgun (apparently) } is a true statement, why not get yourself to a newspaper and you might even get a photo and a byline.
