Newsnight has always ended with a look at the next day's front pages, unless they run out of time.
The front pages used to be printed out for the presenter to read, now they are on a tablet. If the last item is a recorded report then the presenter has chance to review them first. If it's a guest interview then the presenter is reading them for the first time as they're read out on air.
Very often the front pages don't appear on screen in the same order as they are read out. Sometimes they are shown together on the wall.
Another recent tweak to Newsnight is they do now invite viewers to send their reckons via WhatsApp which are also read out an air.
