• One of the most significant changes was the gradual adoption of the corporate image by the BBC regional news programmes, giving a common style across local, national and international BBC television news.

• Three BBC News reports (Andrew Gilligan’s on Today, Gavin Hewitt’s on The Ten O’Clock News and another on Newsnight) quoted an anonymous source that stated the British government (particularly the Prime Minister’s office) had embellished the September Dossier with misleading exaggerations of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction capabilities.
• Other BBC News presenters also provide relief presentation on programmes broadcast on these channels.
• All nations and English regions produce their own local news programmes and other current affairs and sport programmes.

BBC News 24 and BBC World introduced a new style of presentation in December 2003, that was slightly altered on 5 July 2004 to mark 50 years of BBC Television News.[58] The individual positions of editor of the One and Six O’Clock News were replaced by a new daytime position in November 2005. Kevin Bakhurst became the first Controller of BBC News 24, replacing the position of editor. Amanda Farnsworth became daytime editor while Craig Oliver was later named editor of the Ten O’Clock News. The bulletins also began to be simulcast with News 24, as a way of pooling resources.

From August 2012 to March 2013, all news operations moved from Television Centre to new facilities in the refurbished and extended Broadcasting House, in Portland Place. The move began in October 2012, and also included the BBC World Service, which moved from Bush House following the expiry of the BBC’s lease. In 1999, the biggest relaunch occurred, with BBC One bulletins, BBC World, BBC News 24, and BBC News Online all adopting a common style.

With journalists in more countries than any other international news provider, BBC News brings unrivalled depth and insight to TV news from around the world. In his report on 28 January 2004, Lord Hutton concluded that Gilligan’s original accusation was “unfounded” and the BBC’s editorial and management processes were “defective”. In particular, it specifically criticised the chain of management that caused the BBC to defend its story. The BBC Director of News, Richard Sambrook, the report said, had accepted Gilligan’s word that his story was accurate in spite of his notes being incomplete. Davies had then told the BBC Board of Governors that he was happy with the story and told the Prime Minister that a satisfactory internal inquiry had taken place. The Board of Governors, under the chairman’s, Gavyn Davies, guidance, accepted that further investigation of the Government’s complaints were unnecessary.

Also, May saw the launch of World News Today the first domestic bulletin focused principally on international news. Afternoon television news bulletins during the mid to late 1970s were broadcast from the BBC newsroom itself, rather than one of the three news studios. The newsreader would present to camera while sitting on the edge of a desk; behind him staff would be seen working busily at their desks.

BBC News provides television journalism to BBC One bulletins and the rolling news channels BBC News (International) and the BBC News Channel in the United Kingdom. In addition, BBC News runs rolling news network BBC Radio 5 Live and the international BBC World Service. They also contribute to strands across BBC Radio 4 and bulletins on all radio networks. Bulletins received new titles and a new set design in May 2006, to allow for Breakfast to move into the main studio for the first time since 1997. The new set featured Barco videowall screens with a background of the London skyline used for main bulletins and originally an image of cirrus clouds against a blue sky for Breakfast. This was later replaced following viewer criticism.[59] The studio bore similarities with the ITN-produced ITV News in 2004, though ITN uses a CSO Virtual studio rather than the actual screens at BBC News.

Also in the mid-1970s, the late night news on BBC2 was briefly renamed Newsnight,[34] but this was not to last, or be the same programme as we know today – that would be launched in 1980 – and it soon reverted to being just a news summary with the early evening BBC2 news expanded to become Newsday. In general, folks want factual news and not ACOSTA TYPE BIAS…….whether it be directed at the Left or the Right. This is a list of newsreaders and reporters currently employed by BBC Television and BBC Radio. The studio moves also meant that Studio N9, previously used for BBC World, was closed, and operations moved to the previous studio of BBC News 24. Studio N9 was later refitted to match the new branding, and was used for the BBC’s UK local elections and European elections coverage in early June 2009. The BBC is a quasi-autonomous corporation authorised by royal charter, making it operationally independent of the government.
