“Katharine, First - thank you for your excellent work. Really interesting topics.
However, I’ve noticed that you’re using the ‘ya Know’ gap filler a lot...a real lot. Not as much as other journalists but a lot nevertheless.
This minor speech impediment is not confined to you. Adam Morton was much worse is a recent podcast you hosted.
Other afflicted journalists are Phil Coorey (really bad at this, Samantha Maiden, David Speers (increasingly), Chris Kenny, Annika Smethurst and Laura Tingle (only on podcasts - not when she’s reading from a script on 7.30).
Please listen to a couple of your past podcasts (especially the one with Adam Morton). You’ll know what I mean.
I used to tell my students at UniSA that the PRESENTATION of a message is as important as the CONTENT. If the message isn’t delivered professionally then some of the message is lost.
Again, thanks for the great podcasts Katharine. Much appreciated.”
