BBC World News: Presentation

Hi everyone,

To be honest I must say N9 has a more urgent feeling and looks more authoritive than the usual BBC World newsroom. The lighting seems brighter which makes the presenter more important and the background is well visible yet not distracting so The childish-looking 'stickers' on the glass in the usual newsroom I think are a wasteful distraction instead of consistent branding.

Only the desk and the screen behind the presenter are better in the newer studio, I believe. In N9, the desk looks less shiny and the screen more like an out-dated plasma. Though, I like the whole sharp, colourful yet sober and serious feeling of N9.

Yeah, it's all just personal perception but perhaps anyone agrees? Or vehemently disagrees?

Back in N8 for the Overnight,no changes from what I can see, save for what looks to be some sort of light behind the glass towards the right of the Barcos, which looks nice.

"Much better"? One lantern has been lit and you say "much better"?

There is a new sports anchor on World today. I don't know her name, but she is from AJE. She use to do the sports from London.

You beat me to it, Zack. I was just gonna ask her name.

Well worth it being closed in my opinion.

And ermm.... presentation?

They changed the pillar behind the desk blocking the window.

What was the point of doing that? Admittedly, the second image looks better, but what did they gain from doing it?

Hmm... They switched position?
