International News Presentation: Past and Present

Clever, first thing I though when the '1' minimised into the small rounded square, was iOS App (I don't even know they have one)

Totally off topic but Judith in the last video was one of the hosts of this year's Eurovision.

They do have an app, and apart from news articles, in german of course, there is also a livestream of all the Tagesschau and Tagesthemen programmes from ARD Das Erste.

Blimey - they're using Autocue - this bulletin was famously read off script until very recently ...

Thanks for that, guest03. I didn't know about ARD's change -- which is realtively minor, but then again, changes at ARD are almost always minor. (It's a very conservative broadcaster, as deejay's post reminds us.)

France 2, 1PM news, 2011 -- in its entirety (begins with promos, commercials, and the weather forecast):

and, at last, a look at the presentation of RTP Informação's 24 Horas (simulcast on RTP Internacional and RTP África):


that's the only newscast on RTP Informação to have the titles after the opening sequence (instead of before the clock, like it happens with all other bulletins on RTP Informação and RTP1). that's also the only bulletin on the channel using the virtual version of the RTP1 set (most likely because the name "24 Horas" came from the defunct late bulletins on RTP1) - when 24 Horas is broadcast from Lisbon (its regular home is Porto), it comes from very same set as RTP1's Telejornal.

Is this.....

yes it is. I didn't notice the bad URL.

New look of RTL Klub Hungary's news from September 2011:


Now, what would be a good mix of simple and minimalistic yet clean European look and flashy, 3D-y and flying-thingy U.S. look for the news?

(EDIT: They both have dynamic animations, anyway.)
