Australian News Channel

MarkTheFreak opened this issue · comments

Currently, Reuters EU is used for Australian news. This is a problem as Reuters rarely report on Australian news.

Steps to Reproduce :

  • Take a look at Australia on the News Channel and take a look at how little news articles there is.

I'm sorry but I think we won't do anything with that.

I am interested in looking at it, but I need a good news source to use (that has locations associated with the articles)

commented

A good source will be needed for sure (with locations) if Australian news is a goal.

I was thinking of using AP for Australian news since I didn't really like the ones I found.

I should also mention that when Reuters EU reported on the Margaret River shootings, the location was set to "Sydney" even though Margaret River is located in Western Australia.

OK, I believe that is a common thing that happens, it has nothing to do with us.

There's news.com.au which has locations.
ABC News (abc.net.au/news) which has loads of high quality images and locations.

We talked about using Associated Press. If they have the location at the start of the article that'd be good, but I swear we checked ABC News out.
