That promo for the News Channel is a very good video.

But their own impression of BBC News nowadays doesn't gel to me how their on screen mistakes that have occurred with their own presentation of the news wasn't a major broadcasting blip. That promo for BBC News has all of the hallmarks of trying to be the best news organisation in the world. But it didn't need to tell me that when I was watching it since it made the move to BH in 2013.

If people actually asked me how the BBC News Channel looks and feels to the audience right now in 2024; it really doesn't sell a lot to tell me that it really is the best news organisation in the world at the moment. They had that reputation within them about 10 or 20 years ago. However; the decline in that usefulness of BBC News in recent times has been a really hard pill to swallow since they merged their news channels together due to major cutbacks in their licence fee funding from the British Government. That impression of failure within BBC News was not apparent to me when I was watching it over the past 10 years.

Other competitors like Sky News are just beating the BBC News Channel out of the water now in terms of how they present the news to their own audience. And it shows in how they are committing themselves to making huge investments on the news studios and award winning journalism. Sky News have been pumping money into their improving/expanding their studios left, right and centre to actually make great use out of their content for their own audience. The Sky News journalists actually don't produce that many on screen mistakes at all when compared to the mistakes going out on BBC News Channel.

The BBC News Channel on the other hand have some investments to their studios here and there due to the current strangle hold of their TV Licence settlement with the British Government. Some of that investment that has gone into improving the studios for BBC News has been very slow & very cheap to date.

Although if Erron Gordon can make some major improvements in how BBC News can become more accessible to their audience.

I would be very interested to see how he gets on with making those improvements become a lot more useful in the future.
