Brekkie Crumbs (Notes from the NewsRadio Breakfast team) for Friday November 6th
Mark - Breakfast E.P. …
Thanks to Anna Hipsley for filling in again for Glen this morning.
No - our regular host did not have such a good time in New York recently that he hopped back on a plane to the Big Apple.
He’s currently undergoing the delights of the dentist’s drill.
I hope you notice that we tipped another winner in this blog yesterday.
Racing Editor Helen Thomas was dead right with her tip for the Oaks at Flemington.
Not that you would have made a fortune.
Faint Perfume must be about one of the shortest price favourites to go around at Flemington since the days of Phar Lap!
Never mind.
And her tip for tomorrow’s Emirate Stakes? SO YOU THINK
The ABC boss has been busy this week.
As well as outlining his grand vision to turn the ABC into an international news organisation to rival the BBC and CNN, Mark Scott’s also been attending the Media 140 conference, being held at the ABC’s Ultimo headquarters in Sydney.
It’s a summit organised by the journalists union, the MEAA, exploring the future of journalism in the age of social media.
I was a bit puzzled by the reference to “140″.
“What on earth’s that?” I asked
“Oh”, a colleague kindly explained, “That’s a reference to Twitter.”
“Que?”
“140 is the maximum number of characters you can have in a Twitter message”, they explained patiently.
That of course got me think about the profound things I could tell listeners in 140 characters in this blog.
I wracked my brain and wracked my brain…..
And this is what I came up with:
“Avagoodweekendandtalknextweek”
