SMH Post # 5: A crisis of content

This was a prime example of the failure of Sydney Morning Herald to realize that their main objective is to represent and inform the local Sydney community rather than to provide world news.

 The premiere of the new blockbuster film 'Australia' was held in Sydney last night. This movie marks a proud movement for many Australians and shows off the local talent of many of the actors. As well as this, it was held in Sydney and drew much international media towards the event. Yet the main article on the website was about Bill and Hillary Clinton (nothing of breaking news importance) and the writeup on the Australia premiere was actually under entertainment and Hollywood news.  This does not make any sense to me and is completely devoid of logic.

I believe the editors need to get their priorities in check.
