International News Presentation: Past and Present

This seems to be a compilation of news intros of Al-Hurra, a USA-funded Arabic-language channel aimed to viewers in the Middle East, from its beginnings to the present day.

Speaking of U.S. government-funded news operations for international viewers, here's Worldnet's America Today from 1987:



And from 1988, here's a pre-launch newscast from RIAS (Radio in the American Sector) TV in West Berlin, partly funded by the U.S. government and intended primarily for viewers in East Germany. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, RIAS merged with Deutsche Welle (DW):

Watching the coverage of a tragic school shooting in Brasil. 8 people are dead. Most of the channels have their helicopters. The coverage from Record News which is a national news channel is super irritating as it features a "heavy metal" bed constantly playing under everything the entire time. It plays non-stop. I know they usually have these super long headline sequences in Brasil. Im not a big viewer of Brasilian news, but i didnt know some channels did this. They were playing a live interview with a person affected and he started crying and you continually hear guitars playing underneath. GLOBONEWS and from what I can tell BAND NEWS doesnt do this either. I found it strange for rolling news coverage. The tune it repetitive as well. Maybe it adds some urgency or something. Its similar to watching the epileptic-inducing Indian News channels IMO. Geez.
