Diversity is important to glue together an more accurate idea of the current state of things -> Objectivity in news has a strong subjective guideline in terms of telling what is "true", or rather, in selecting what truths to convieniently leave out of the story to give the angle of approach more leverage. People make up/change their opinions based on what "the news" tell them. I'm not saying I am any different, and that is ofcourse also a big part of why i'm welcoming this new channel. More information makes my opinions and standpoints stronger, more viable (to myself that is) - therefore it is hugely important that the opinion is based on the right mix of information.

They even snapped up Raggi Omar from the Beeb! We don't get the station here, but I doubt I'd ever watch it. I can't even imagine who their target audience would be in fact. Still, it's a milestone and an interesting event for media worldwide. That’s an impressive catalogue of on-site correspondents. They even snapped up Raggi Omar from the Beeb!
