A former member of the PBS newsroom, John Inguanez, is monitoring every edition of the PBS 8pm news.
Mr Inguanez took over from the late Joe Mercieca, who was doing the monitoring until a few days before his untimely demise.
Mr Inguanez, chosen by the Editorial Board, previously worked in the newsroom, while Mr Mercieca never did. Mr Inguanez receives €700 a month to do the monitoring, estimated by PBS insiders as “just about right, though it may seem on the high side”.
