News Network is an evening news program launched by CCTV's comprehensive channel. The program focuses on politics, economy, science and technology, society, military affairs, diplomacy, culture, sports, agriculture, transportation and other aspects, and is broadcast by provincial satellite TV channels and some local stations. Each session lasts for 30 minutes (sometimes it may be extended).
News Network adopted a highly stylized layout style. From the broadcast order, it is current affairs report, regular report, domestic newsletter and international newsletter in turn. Although the four major sectors have been adjusted occasionally, the overall order has remained stable. Among them, current affairs report, as a traditional theme and superior resource of news broadcast, occupies a major position in the whole program.
Program function
News programs rarely change in form, anchor style and opening music, and the anchor's hairstyle and personal style must remain fixed. Luo Jing, one of the anchors, once said that the anchor needs the director's approval to cut his hair. Among them, only the opening animation has obvious changes, from China's calligraphy characters to the computer-generated animation title and emblem twice.
