Everything about Current Affairs News Format totally explained
Current affairs is a
genre of
broadcast journalism where the emphasis is on detailed analysis and discussion of
news stories that have recently occurred or are ongoing at the time of broadcast.
This differs from regular news broadcasts where the emphasis is on news reports presented for simple presentation as soon as possible, often with a minimum of analysis. It is also different for the
newsmagazine show format in that the events are discussed immediately.
The UK's
Office of Communications defines it as "explanation and analysis of current events and issues, including material dealing with political or industrial controversy or with
public policy" and distinguishes it from the coverage of news, coverage of special events like parliamentary proceedings, and the coverage of
consumer affairs, among other exceptions. The BBC cites
Panorama as its flagship current affairs programme, with
BBC One programmes such as
Real Story,
BBC Scotland Investigates,
Spotlight,
Week In Week Out, and
Inside Out also fitting the definition.
