I was wondering whether you should comment on allegations of political bias? As in, I would state that the website message boards are censored heavily in a pro tory manner —Preceding

Wouldn't a column on the channels political independence be valid? Sky News (Uk and OZ) as well as Fox news in the States are all considered staunchly conservative/republican, to the point of outright bias.
It's a privately owned channel - by Rupert Murdoch, and was once edited by Kelvin McKenzie - two people who think anyone centre left are "marxists".
Read a stories message board - it's like Alf Garnett, over and over again. They censor out any moderate comments

I work at Sky News and I edited the list of international bureaux and worldwide live studios.
The previous list was inaccurate as it listed non-existing bureaux and also listed live studios that are used for guests as actual bureaux (which implies a Sky News correspondent on the ground).
I work at Sky News and I updated the list of programmes and their content following Sky News spring 2011 programme revamp and new schedule. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.202.253.202 ( talk) 02:37, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I added the following in criticism section related to doorstepping incident by Martin Brunt. I was surprised is wasn't mentioned as it was a high profile case that resulted in widespread media coverage

I can't see who put the copy editing flag up or see why it was done. Is it really still necessary? Griffindd ( talk) 11:08, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Who wrote KICK YOUR ASS RIGHT NOW! It needs to stop. Please, I'm soooo tired of this crap!
It was Shaylin. Shaylin how dare you are editing that's it you are grounded for 1 hour, at 9:00am! Now go to your room right now at Mum's bed/house.
It's 9:00am I will stop editing right now. 😎 and never do it again!😡 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:B984:5E00:408C:FACD:4F44:6965 ( talk) 06:59, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
The plural of the English word "bureau" is "bureaus", not "bureaux". I've corrected instances of the misspelled words. Matuko ( talk) 22:02, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
Just to clear up any misconceptions here . . . bureau is originally a French word, like many others, that has become part of the English language. Therefore, the plural form is OPTIONAL i.e. bureaus OR bureaux. Editrite! ( talk) 09:11, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
One caption to an illustration reads as follows:
"Sky News viewing peaked during 11 September attacks, Iraq War, Asian tsunami, 7 July 2005 London bombings and the death of Diana, Princess of Wales but has generally declined to a quarter achieved in 1992–95"
The last phrase "declined to a quarter achieved in 1992–95" is so poorly worded that very few readers will understand it.
But also, there is no need for this illustration! It tells us that more people listen to and watch news programs on days when there is important news. But everybody already knows this. 2600:1700:E1C0:F340:BD07:6D57:F259:5F86 ( talk) 21:25, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
The claim under the heading “reception” that Sky News International is not available on Sky Deutschland is incorrect. It is broadcast on Sky Deutschland channel 719. 2003:D8:5734:9D60:5DB8:F6B9:6F3:43A2 ( talk) 18:02, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
