Why there’s still life left in TV news bulletins, with 5 News editor Cait Fitzsimons
Manage episode 357477729 series 3406922
5 News editor Cait Fitzsimons has sat down with Press Gazette to discuss the programme and its place in broadcasting following its relaunch and expansion.
5 News has gone from creating two half-hourly bulletins at 5pm and 6.30pm, which had to largely repeat themselves, to one hour-long 5pm programme, allowing it to go more in-depth and add new content strands. Dan Walker will present alongside Claudia-Liza Vanderpuije.
Fitzsimons discussed the reasoning behind and impact of those changes, and said the programme is now on a “positive upward trajectory” in its viewing figures. She warned, however, that public service broadcasters should have their prominence guaranteed in a digital-first world (although that does not mean 5 News needs its own website).
