But Paula used to be part of the staff?
P.S Isn't it mean by skynews that they only show their 'important' employed presenters.


Well obviously she isn't anymore. Just because someone regularly presents on a channel does not mean they are permanent staff. And what do you mean they only show their "important" presenters? All of the ones employed full time by the channel are on there.
Elm 2011: Gemma and Chloe are employed by Sky full time - they might not be on the television channel that often, but they could be on overnights, on interactive or on the radio service.


Yeah I know that but Paula and Lisa are on screen more, so you though they might have give them a biography on the website! Especially when paula has a regular slot on weekend nsw and Lisa I believe does overnight quite a bit on weekends!

On different note; who's been on today? Sarah-Jane on at the minute, she been on since two?


How do you know that Paula and Lisa just work on screen then go home but Chloe and Gemma spend most of their time doing other things but only a short amount of time off screen.

How do I know what? My point was on screen you see Paula and Lisa more so why not give them a biography? Who cares whether they go straight home? That's not the point I'm making! At the end of the day the viewer only see what's happening on screen! And I appreciate that Chloe and Gemma may do a lot off screen, but as a viewer we see Paula and Lisa more!

What you've got to remember, is that the press office website is not for use by the general public. As such, why should it matter whether we see them on screen more or not. If the PR team decides that there isn't a need for Paula to have a biography on the site, then so be it.

Agreed, there has to be a reason why...and " IMO " I don't think Paula is that good of a newsreader anyway (but that is no reason)

Just because they are on screen more does not mean they should get a biography - because they aren't Sky employees. Maybe if they worked full time for Sky they would get one.


But I can remember that Paula has been presenting since Ten years or so, but gemma since two. Shouldn't that be an advantage for those like Paula who are part of the skynews team for at least a decade?

No, because she's not a full-time employee of Sky anymore. She's freelance.

Sarah-Jane Mee's reaction to the New Year report in Scotland just after 2, was great!
She nearly laughed but I think the next story stopped her from doing so. I have never seen her on screen laughing - seems very serious normally

A couple of trivial things we learnt on sunrise today, Stephen Dixon said he has recently moved and the local policeman comes round for a cup of tea and if he hasent seen his car for a couple of day he calls his mobile to make sure he's ok

Gillian Joseph told us she was in the school choir which sang with ABBA for 3 nights at Wembley which impressed Stephen and the 2 paper reviewers
