I've raised this issue on the [[In the News]] page, but got little response.
Rather than unilaterally propose a change on the page, I decided to bring in here first to see can we get a consensus here initially.
A lot of users refer to the above page as ''ITN''. That is deeply unwise. The page uses the acronyms that media uses - BBC, RTÉ, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc. ''ITN'' is also an acronym used by a news agency, Independent Television News, which supplies news coverage for ITV News and Channel 4 News in the UK and wire services for any international organisations.
A google search linking to our In the News page will show up references to ITN and think that the ITN being mentioned is the news agency, not an insider acronym for our page.
I know someone in ITN who has had negative feedback because of an error we carried. The person who spotted him and mentioned the error to him saw ITN on the talk page and thought that the error was the result of mistake by Independent Television News. So far some people in the real ITN are peeved. If we are not careful and make some clanger (and as many of those contributing to the page aren't journalists they are often clumsy in their use of language in a news report and get things wrong) the real ITN might go from peeved to seriously pissed off.
ITN is their registered name, not ours. For our own sake we should stop people using ITN when they mean our page. If necessary a new name is needed for the page to avoid a serious problem happening and seriously pissing off the real ITN.
