The piece was reasonably good at exposing the banality of TV news grammar, with its building blocks of open-ended piece-to-camera, GVs (aka General Views or filler shots), vox pops for "authenticity", strangely framed wides for graphics etc.
There's more to say on the grammar, but it's too banal for me to be bothered.
