BBC News and Current Affairs is a major arm of the BBC responsible for the corporation's news gathering and production of news programmes on BBC television, radio and online.
BBC Television News is responsible for network news bulletins on BBC One and BBC Two, news output on BBC Three and BBC Four and the news networks BBC News 24, BBC World, BBC Parliament, the BBC News website and Ceefax. BBC News carries out a key objective of the BBC's Royal Charter, to "collect news and information in any part of the world and in any manner that may be thought fit".
BBC Radio News produces bulletins for BBC national radio and provides content for local BBC radio stations. BBC News does not produce the BBC's regional news bulletins, these are produced by the BBC nations and regions.
BBC News is based at the News Centre at Television Centre but operates regional centres across the UK and bureaux around the world. Political coverage is based at Millbank Studios in Westminster. The News Centre brought radio and TV news operations together for the first time and produces almost 100 hours of output every day.
BBC News claims the BBC's output is widely respected across the world. Within the UK BBC News faces stiff competition from Sky News and ITN however research has shown that viewers turn to the BBC for coverage of major events, e.g. Iraq war, September 11th attacks.
The then British Broadcasting Company broadcast its first radio bulletin on November 14 1922. On July 5 2004 the BBC celebrated 50 years of television news, the first bulletin was broadcast on that day in 1954.
