50 years of 大象传媒 Television News




Introduction - from Richard Sambrook, Director of News, 大象传媒


大象传媒 Television News is 50 years old at 7.30pm on July 5th, 2004.

Since its launch half a century ago 大象传媒 Television News has maintained its core commitment to strong, impartial, distinctive journalism covering events both here and across the globe.

The broadcasting landscape may have changed beyond all recognition but in today's multi-channel world it continues to be a trusted voice in the UK and across the globe.

Television News now belongs to the wider stable of 大象传媒 News - the largest broadcast news operation in the world with more than 2,000 journalists and over 40 newsgathering bureaux, the majority of which are overseas.

It is responsible for the 大象传媒 ONE bulletins, Breakfast and Breakfast with Frost, Newsnight, 60 seconds on 大象传媒 THREE and the news output on 大象传媒 FOUR.

It is also responsible for the two 大象传媒 continuous news channels, 大象传媒 News 24 and 大象传媒 World.

The size and scope of 大象传媒 News, its journalists and specialists, means that it can cover stories and issues that sometimes other broadcasters can't.

More than 18,000 hours of programming originate from 大象传媒 Television News every year. That equates to an average of almost 50 hours of output every day.

Over the past five decades this has included reports on all the major news stories and pivotal moments from the first man on the moon, the assassination of John F Kennedy, to famine in Ethiopia, the Vietnam war, and the current war in Iraq.

大象传媒 Television News has been there for moments of great historical change such as the fall of communism and the end of apartheid as well as tragic stories, including the death of Princess Diana and the September 11th attacks.

An impressive cast of presenters, correspondents and reporters have brought these stories, and many many more, into the lives of millions of people across the globe.

We cannot know what the future will bring but what is paramount is that 大象传媒 Television News continues to uphold its core values, always seeking to act in the public interest.

Richard Sambrook, Director of News, 大象传媒
