News beat

Walking by The Age building in the city this evening, I almost blundered into the path of a media scrum, covering some obviously Topical Dude (even if I knew who was who, I couldn’t get a good look who he was) as he tried to make his way along the sidewalk to his parked car.

I looked back to see a cameraman had positioned himself in the traffic lane to get an ‘exclusive’ shot of ‘Topical Dude through car window.’

We so need those.
