In the News (Fri 1 Jan 10)

  
  Independent Television News - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ITN's most famous news programme, News at Ten was also controversially axed by ITV in 1999 to allow it to broadcast films without the interruption of a 10 o'clock news bulletin.
The new ITV News at 10.30pm launched on 2 February 2004 (the day that ITV in England and Wales came under the ownership of a single company), and is presented by Sir Trevor McDonald.
Similarly, ITN's 24-hour news channel (launched some distance behind the wake of Sky News and BBC News 24) was jointly bought by the main ITV companies Carlton and Granada, and subsequently renamed and re-branded as the ITV News Channel.

 SoYouWanna get a job in tv news?
True, working in TV news can beat working at a lot of other places; it's never dull, no two days are the same, and after two or three decades you can make some pretty good dough.

 Satellite News Channels Changing the Face of Television News in the Middle East
Spurred by the introduction of news channels beamed by satellite to countries throughout the region, the Middle East is undergoing an explosion of hard-hitting news programming, from American-style talk shows on previously-taboo subjects to live debate on social and political issues to reports from field correspondents to live, blunt interviews with government leaders.
The new channels are challenging the region's definition of news and their reliance on government-owned stations, which can be outright propaganda instruments in some countries and elsewhere reflect political sensibilities and shy away from controversial subjects.
The Columbia forum, "Opening the Channels: Television and Society in the Middle East," was sponsored by the Middle East Institute at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs and the Graduate School of Journalism with generous support from the actor Richard Dreyfuss.
