...I can't understand why reporters have to be "At the scene" for many reports...
With the types of story mentioned where nothing much is happening, the only way to get anything is to be there.
You might see Jonny Footballer's manager swing into the hospital to visit him, or his very fit Mrs.
More chance of an interview with the prison governor or prison officers' association rep if you are stood outside the jail.
Or you might get to speak to a con's wife or brother who will tell you what they are rioting about.
And all these stories would be much more boring if they were just being read - television is a visual media.
As regards Breakfast TV, most expert guests will not be paid, but a car will be sent to collect them, partly because of the time of day, and because the producer needs to know his guests will be there.
Viewers would be very quick to criticise the programme if it appeared disorganised.
