International News Presentation: Past and Present

From Denmark, a historical compilation of DR's news intros from the 1960s to the present:

Great compilation, but underlines that in recent years, every country's TV news looks and feels like every other country's TV news.

From Australia, NBN's regional news for New South Wales' Central Coast:

ZDF, Germany, 1977; 5 p.m. update with a nice view of what may have been the world's first brick-wall news set (starts just after the three-minute mark):

In Italy, Rete 4's late news has a new look:

The last Eyewitness News- branded newscast from ATV-10 in Melbourne, Australia:

The new-look 10 News First from Melbourne (intro only):



And Brisbane (a longer montage):

I love love love the new 10 News First relaunch. The graphics and the format feels nice and fresh. The theme is absolutely brilliant. It even retains the old 10 News signature. That was a brilliant move to retain some of the channels heritage in the presentation. The singular "bloop" is a nice touch to use during the transitions.


I love how the logo turns red during breaking news is also a nice touch. Also the use of photography is brilliant. And not just pictures over text, still images mixed with moving footage and some graphical elements thrown in gives it a modern fresh feeling. I love the opens and instead of a cliche'd use of a skyline shot they use a aerial view straight down to the ground over the city of origination. Unfortunately they could relaunch with new sets across the country. They are horrible, but they arent my favourite. But overall I have to well done to 10 NEWS FIRST for brilliant relaunch.

RTL II, Germany, 2018:

...and here's one for TV2:

ATV (Horizon Pacific), Auckland, New Zealand, 1996:



(At 0:34, there is an advert for a programme called Auckland Edition - the presenter, who is British, looks rather like Jacob Rees-Mogg, IMO...)

And here's their news channel, TV2 News, since 2006:
