The reformatting of Newsnight was featured on The Media Show last week with guests Michael Crick, Peter Snow and Kirsty Wark.

This was broadcast just before the General Election was announced. Kirsty, who is leaving after the Election, was fairly sanguine about the new format, at least as far as Election coverage is concerned.
On the more centralised approach in BBC News, it was mentioned that a former Today editor refused to allow Newsnight to be mentioned on the programme (I always remember Newsnight couldn't conceal its glee when a Today presenter made a faux pas) and the Today programme team used to lock their offices to prevent The World At One from accessing their materials.
It was also mentioned that the Newsnight will start uploading clips to YouTube again - the last clip was uploaded in 2020.
