  Newsnight goes web-first from Guardian Unlimited: Organ Grinder
Newsnight may or may not be the first news programme to go web-first with a TV report ahead of its official live broadcast.
Newsnight is replaced at 10.55 with regional programming here so we would otherwise miss out completely on many of the reports at the end of the show which are often the best bits of the programme.
Newsnight remains, like Channel Four News, a beacon of integrity, excellent journalism, and on a good night, OK at the softer stuff (hats off Steve Smith who was lost from one to the other and has reinvented for our pleasure the definition of the word "culture").

 Newsnight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Newsnight is a British daily news analysis, current affairs and politics programme broadcast between 22:30 and 23:20 on weekdays on BBC Two.
The latest Newsnight set is based around the new 'flexible but fixed' design, to allow other programmes to use it without too many changes needed.
Newsnight remains the UK's flagship television news and current affairs programme and regularly breaks major stories, such as the fact that the leader of the London suicide bombers (7 July 2005) had been monitored by British security services.

Newsnight correspondents will "strongly resist" any attempts by management to make them reapply for their jobs if plans to axe two roles at the programme go through, Press Gazette has learned.
The Newsnight insider said: "No one wants to move to another area of the BBC as there are pretty deep cuts taking place across the board.
Newsnight is one of the few programmes on the BBC where you are able to work on quality projects, make longer films, and it is generally a good place to work."

 Pro-Test: Newsnight
Newsnight was content to let anti-science campaigners from organisations like the BUAV and Europeans for Medical 'Progress' claim that scientific opinion was split.
There is reason and fact on one side of this debate, and anti-reason and pure emotion on the other, as a recent article on Hidden Agendas illustrated.
Newsnight, to their credit, divided the issue up sensibly into scientific, ethical and political parts.

 The Scotsman - Newsnight Scotland is beating Paxman
Newsnight Scotland, which usually leads with lengthy pieces on heavyweight, and often political, subjects, has been given a rough ride since its launch on 4 October 1999.
He claimed the split from London turned Newsnight into a dog’s breakfast and the presenter was accused of deliberately delaying the handing-over on some nights, cutting into the time allocated for the Scottish segment.
Viewing figures for Newsnight Scotland fluctuated in the first year, dipping as low as 65,000 at one stage, but have gradually strengthened and are now steady at around 100,000.

But, Newsnight, irritates me more than it informs me. Paxman is part of the Establishment, and reflects their interests and attitudes.
Newsnight's coverage of Peak Oil isn't an aboration, or an isolated case of lack of research or incompetence.
Then she changed their meaning from a demonstration of the URR P5, P50, P95 statistical nonsense, which she might have recognised as nonsense - she is after all intelligent posh totty - to her, as an economist, more 'rational' $20 and $75 dollar nonsense.

 Newsnight Editor in Conflict of Interests Storm || Arsenal Times - Unofficial Arsenal F.C. News and Views   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Peter Barron Editor of Newsnight is a "devoted Spurs fan" (Media Guardian 5 June 2006), and as such this must raise issues as to his impartiality with regards to the BBC Newsnight investigation into Arsenal Football Club.
The Newsnight "investigation" had no substance and was just a malicious and thoughtless waste of TV licencepayers money.
But before alarm bells start ringing it is the Kyiv municipal administration selling the club of the same name [Good one for Arsenal to link up with as a feeder club because when Spursnight comes knocking they won't be able to tell the difference in the Arsenal signatures at the bottom of documents].

Now it has emerged tha the BBC has held an inquiry into the role of Newsnight producer Thea Rogers, who booked Mr Purnell to appear on the show - and who just happened to be in the middle of a fling with him at the time.
Sources at Newsnight insisted last night that it was "absurd" to suggest that Miss Rogers's relationship with the minister had any bearing on his treatment on the show.
