Sky News still best for Breaking News.

Tonight we wait anxiously over the outcome of the four trapped miners in Cilyebyll, Pontardawe in Wales. Sky News have given a lesson tonight and in the recent past particularly in Libya on how to cover breaking News. To say sky have scrambled people to the scene in Wales is an insult because they mobilise their best correspondents and also have had a presenter there since 8pm. They have had their helicopter give us the general picture of the scene and can refer back to the skystrator in studio in London to show us the geography of the scene.

Only a couple of weeks ago we all watched Alex Crawford accomplish her journalistic dream of filing a world exclusive live with the anti-Gadaffi fighters gaining control of Tripoli. She almost single handedly told the world on TV of the fall of the Gadaffi regime. She and her colleagues risked their lives in doing this but in doing so they showed the rebels advance first hand to governments and viewers across the globe. When I changed to BBC News is was reduced to watching BBC Correspondent Orla Guerin taking us through the latest developments from Misrata over 200 kilometres from the front line.

Although the BBC is an institution and has many great qualities the channel I turn to when there's breaking news is Skynews because they are first and always seem controlled and dignified when presenting us with the latest information.
