Yes, this has far derailed off the conversation the topic should be about. Back to Channel 4 news presentation discussion please.

It is interesting to notice that Washington correspondent Kylie Morris is essentially a third presenter on the programme whenever there is a major US story, i.e. she interviewed her colleague, international editor Lindsey Hillsum, in New York on tonight's programme.
I have nothing to post other than the fact that Channel 4 News over the past few weeks has been exemplary, both from a content aspect and from a production aspect. The other week they had 4 anchors live in 4 locations and lots of VT and stuff from London and all talking to each other. Now, you can make the arguments about pointless lives and whatnot, but from a pure technical level they've been knocking it out of the park lately.

I agree. It seems to be a unique type of anchoring on UK television news.

Last night's programme was excellent. Just a shame there was a delay on the final interview between Jon Snow and Irvine Welsh, which started getting in the way of the points Welsh was making, and a very messy end of the prog, but overall very good.
The programme is streets ahead of Newsnight (IME)

Can they not spell "Westminster" correctly? They've spelled it "Westminister" in the interviews with political editor Gary Gibbon and Sir Oliver Letwin in tonight's programme.
