This bit intrigues me:

Media Guardian posted:
Unlike the Ten O'Clock News set, the newsroom is a real, not a virtual one. It was designed by Simon Jago, who also designed Channel 4 News and is working on a relaunch of ITV News next year.

So basically, if N24's set is awful, expect an awful ITV News relaunch as well Confused

Media Guardian article on the relaunch


From that article:

"We won't be doing anything like skateboarding ducks underwater. If anything, our agenda will stay the same."

Now that is a real shame - I wanted more of that.

The new-look service, which launches on Monday, will highlight the big stories and house pundits such as the Guardian's David Aaronovitch and the Times' Janet Daley more effectively in the schedule."

Just a minor point - isn't Janet Daley from the Telegraph?

It will be accompanied by new onscreen graphics, logo and captions which take up less of the screen.


Less? I thought it was more.


They said bigger text, but now they're saying taking up less of the screen. This can only mean that they're not putting as much info on the screen at the same time.

If you look at the 1/6/10 desk, it's a frosted plastic base with a white illuminated interior which make the frosted bit look white. Presumbaly they're using the same design with a red interior.

What font did you use for the 24 bit MOD?

Helvetica Bold, but the actual 24 font on the scan is a bit bolder.

Yep - there is a shot of Jon Sopel perched on the new desk.

Think One/Six/Ten desk, but elliptical and with a shiny red base rather than frosted white. Looks like the desk is supported on a white frosted illuminated rostrum / floor as well.

Laptops rather than wireless keyboards it seems - and a large suspended screen (looks similar to the holoscreen used by World on the Sport Today set - but difficult to tell from a small photo)

Can't tell if the backdrop is real or projected from the photo - though it looks quite blurred.


The big screens look very smart (and expensive!). The projectors for them are on the ceiling.

The backdrop is real, although there's what can only be described as a painting on the back wall of the newsroom, to make it look bigger.

I think if Simon Jago is doing both News 24 and ITV News it will look good, because Simon Jago made a good job of the C4 News set.

So I presume the 1/6/10 will be the same with a 1, 6 or 10 in the middle instead of the 24?

Even more strangely, David Aaronovitch is now at the Independent - bit of a bleedin' stupid mistake for the Guardian to make about a writer who left last month!!!
