Can someone tell me how big this TV channel is in Australia?

it's like the national channel. every TV in australia has access to it. it has no ads, usually has the best news, and in general it caters more towards older people 30+ years old (more family oriented shows, no american sitcoms)

It was very positive. Happy that E-sports in Australia is getting some recognition. All we need to do is help develop it further to make E-sports mainstream.

I have an innately cynical attitude when going into the viewing of news reports on anything video game related, but this was surprisingly good!

Hey PiG,

well done indeed.

In regards to the "didn't get questions" thing. It's not uncommon to not send questions beforehand. People tend to think so much about their answers that they will just write down and learn something and therefore sound unnatural, like a robot or answering machine.

That's why you will probably never get your questions except if you're talking about highly difficult political matters (where exact wording of phrases/terms may be of utmost importance).

What they want to show on TV is natural people in a natural conversation, not somebody spitting out answers in perfect writing language.



In regards to steering questions: Usually, if they're only half-experienced with interviews, they will not let you do that. Interviews, be they live or on tape, usually have a strict time schedule. So the journalist will prepare the appropriate amount of questions that they think will fill that time frame. Maybe they'll have one or two additional questions prepared in case your answers are too short.

Rule #1 for interviews is you cannot ever let the interviewed dictate the pace and/or direction of the interview. In your case, you should rather try to include what you want to say embedded in your answer. Or hope to talk to inexperienced guys who take the bait!


Background: Been working as a TV/radio journalist for 8 years now.

It was really good. You guys addressed barcraft, team houses, progamers needing to eat healthy & exercise, and the money involved. Those are the most important things to show that esports is legit. Streaming instead of coaching would've been a better way to show ways to get consistent money w/o winning, but that is just a nitpick thing.

I think it's important to show people that loving and watching SC2 isn't equal to being an antisocial basement dweller that plays the game a lot himself. I don't play (just once per month or two) and I watch SC2 a whole lot.
Also it's important to figure out the simplest ways to explain the game without them losing interest.
I think the game will become more interesting as people become better with the game though.
Events like BarCraft and such are SOO important to the growth of E-Sports I believe, and we should try to think about that kind of stuff to give exposure to e-sports (doesn't have to be a bar, but anything you use/go to often and can show e-sports related things)
Then, with more exposure and new kinds of initiatives it gains more media exposure then it could explode again.

Maybe you could explain how tough it is competitively better, like how pros such as yourself can drop games to players like me .

Seriously though, great job, a shame that I missed it live .

Hey everyone

I'm Nick, the reporter who co-put together the segment on eSports. I was the other guy getting interviewed with Jared. I just wanted to say thanks for all the support. This is something I'm very passionate about and I appreciate the feedback. Also cheers Jared for posting this.

A friend SMS'd me to turn on the ABC news24. So i went and watched the interview.

Came across quite well.

Congrats
My hope is one day stupid people will feel the same pain when they talk, as the pain the rest of us feel when we hear them. Twitter: @Legionnaire_au

Thanks for doing this PiG, I enjoyed it greatly
I think you represented E-sports quite well, I think you could have touched on the emotional level a bit more.
How people can sympathize with certain individuals going through struggles (see MVP and his wrist injuries) and things that strike a person on more than just a 1 dimensional level.

I don't think anyone's picking on him, just having a laugh at seeing US conventions used in a situation where they don't really apply. In this case, I believe the female presenter is Aboriginal, so no African background.

Not bad at all. The interview felt very superficial, but that was more the fault of the 5 minute timeframe and the presenters not being familiar with the subject.
