TV news is often reactive, and newspapers are proactive. The headlines on front pages often set the agenda for the questions that are asked in morning interviews. Newspapers have the luxury of not having to worry too much about having moving pictures and live interviews — TV involves much more logistics. The fact they have a whole day gives them time to write a considered article; a VT can’t be created in an hour normally.
As an aside, I just think it’s weird that a major news channel switches to programming in Singapore from 11pm. I would get overnight — but why not go there after 1am for instance?
