60 MINUTES OF CELEBRITY GOSSIP

"But were you really in love with him?"

This was one of the interview questions on 60 minutes last night. 

I know 60 minutes really isn't the benchmark for great, innovative and real journalism - but it has its journalistic merits. 

Anyway, Karl Stefanovic is sitting there with the gorgeous bombshell Delta Goodrem and after saying that she was open to any questions at the beginning of his interview, ALL of his questions were about her love life. 

More particularly, about her supposed 'genuine love' with 10-years-her-junior Nick Jonas. 



They're actually really cute together, but I cannot believe the whole interview was framed around her love life. I mean, she's being called 'the diva dividing Australia' and besides one question regarding her sincerity on 'The Voice', there was NOTHING about her 15-year-old debut, or her recent single, her upcoming album or her plans post 'The Voice'. 

I find it tragic that I, as a first year journalism student, can brainstorm better questions than those post by a reporter with 18 years of experience with WIN/NINE. Wow. 

I hate how the journalism industry is suffering. We really need shows that aren't so fluffy and Perez-Hilton-esque and are actually newsworthy and possessive of news values. 

Well, a girl can dream, can't she?
