Oh dear! Did they use this caption this morning then ?

They should have a new graphic on the system by now, surely?!


That image is fine - the BBC1 and 2 news bulletins still use that as a title sequence.

Wouldn't this be a good time for N24 to employ the ticker to bring a summary of the events, especially with the limited information the info strap now contains as it's only 1 line of text!

N24's coverage has also exposed the lack of a "latest pictures" caption that could appear in the place of the LIVE DOG.

This sums it all up though:

I know Channel 4 and Five are controlled by ITN, but it is interesting that neither channel appear to be covering this BIG STORY.


Channel 4 and five aren't controlled by ITN - ITN just makes programmes for them.

I see that Mark Longhurst has replaced Steve Dixon on Sky News


That's because Steve did Sunrise and stayed on.

I did notice from the pictures that some of the journo's towards the front of the conference were getting a bit rowdy. Surely this is a press conference, not some place to celebrate the official "fall" of Saddam?

Here are some of the rowdy journalists in question...
