Peter van Onselen to lead Ten’s political coverage
Ten has hired former Sky News commentator Peter van Onselen as its network political editor.
Van Onselen will appear across the network’s shows including The Project, Studio 10 and 10 News First. He will also contribute to website 10 Daily and contribute to new podcasting platform 10 Speaks.
PVO: Joining Ten next week
He will start in the role next Monday December 10 and will report to the broadcaster’s director of news content Ross Dagan.
It must feel good to get a job with relevance and influence rather than be a nutty laughable outsider. Always enjoyed your balanced commentary now the mainstream can benefit from it too.
Does Hugh Riminton still work for Ten, if so, why isn’t he the Canberra bureau chief. Maybe a question to ask CEO Paul Anderson.
Probably because PVO is a better fit with Ten’s under 50s audience proposition.
Of course, the under 50s.
And nothing to do with political interference, as we’ve seen at the ABC!!!!
PVA had always been less of a lemming that other Aussie journalists. Unusually for someone in the press gallery he will happily throw out the pretence of neutrality when its called for. To his credit it doesn’t go one way or the other, he will stick the knife into the left or the right when their actions are silly enough.
Peter van Onselen does not do balanced reporting and does not impress at all. The Project was one of may favorite programs but whilst he is in the chair I wont watch
