TVNZ defends Wendy Petrie after fist pump

Gossip is now surrounding the Wendy Petrie fist pump incident.A recent One News fault allowed viewers to see Wendy Petrie "fist pumping" after a live cross during the David Bain coverage.

Rumours are now circulating that Petrie will be called into a disciplinary meeting with TVNZ and that she has also threatened to have the accounts of the Youtube users who uploaded the clip deleted.

However a TVNZ spokesperson has dismissed both of these rumours, saying that it was not Petrie's fault and that technical staff failed to activate the switch to stop the broadcast after the cross to the studio had finished.

Hey your blog always got me thinking, how are you? hope your work going well.

Hm.. although it is not her fault, I think she needs to stay professional and still in front of the camera as she is the one who speaks to the public, it is her job.

Editing is really important, tell me about it. ;)
