I also don’t think having an obviously-fake newsroom background helps build subconscious trust amongst viewers, especially at a time when there are fewer people found in the ‘real’ newsroom view due to hybrid working and staffing changes. In this age of ‘fake news’, it feels like broadcasters should be hyper vigilant about things which appear to distort or mislead viewers as to the nature of news-gathering operations, such as how busy (or not) the newsroom is.
I’ve always enjoyed the city backgrounds - such as the original WN background in Studio C, or the first set design of the BARCO-era N6 bulletins. I’d love for them to return to something like that on the new channel, especially if it helps subtly separate the London output from that of DC and Singapore.
