Like so many written articles now, whether for a featured item for a news bulletin, inclusion in a specialist magazine or a featured exposé; the very basics are omitted.....Shouldn't this article tell the reader "WHERE in Western Sydney the new airport is located?.....& exactly how far the location is from the CBD ? Nor the standard of the new WS such as the existence of necessary infrastructure? Journalists write articles not only to inform but to encourage curiosity in a subject - therefore a well-researched & well-written article needs to be well-rounded. A recent TV current affairs program informed the viewer of the huge increase in general public angst; customer service personnel being abused, road rage more common & escalating to physical assault, etc. There no longer being any level of politeness demonstrated. Not once in the program was the question posed as to "why" this is occurring, or any hint of influencing factors, including demographics nor, sadly, any effort to suggest a solution to society's rapid & serious decline. I think we should expect a lot more from our journalists, but I don't mean word-count, I mean accurate informative content .... enough to begin a conversation, pad out the facts & debate a resolution!
