NBS NEWS SERVICE.
Sir,-Australia’s ABC gives State news every night. From our national stations we get news aplenty of every part of the world-excepting our own country. No, to residents in rural areas the daily papers do not keep us informed. We get first (country) editions of both morning and evening city papers. For example, when slips occur on to railway lines, we do not know of the hold-up of the train our packets are on. A Wellington train was recently side-tracked for four to five hours. An NBS reporter would tell us about times, about things that matter after the evening paper had gone to press; would tell us what was done in Parliament without having to hear out the sittings; would have told us about the ramifications of this latest earthquake. Why not?
