BBC News, formerly BBC News and Current Affairs, is the department within the British Broadcasting Corporation responsible for the corporation's news-gathering and production of news programmes on BBC television, radio and online. Producing 120 hours of output daily, it is the largest broadcasting news gatherer in the world. It maintains its 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". Political coverage is based at the Millbank Studios in 4 Millbank in Westminster. With an annual budget of £350 million, BBC News consists of 3,500 staff, 2,000 of which are journalists. The core BBC News department is based at the News Centre within BBC Television Centre in West London, W12, and is also represented by regional centres across the United Kingdom. The service's global reach is the largest and deepest of any of its kind in the world: there are correspondents in almost all 240 countries worldwide, with 44 news-gathering bureaus based around the world. There are also three BBC News bureaus based within the UK. Unlike almost all other countries' news organs, the BBC is a quasi-autonomous organisation and does not ally itself politically with the Government of the United Kingdom, though it does pay occasional respects to its Queen. It has however been accused of left-wing bias by right-wingers and right-wing bias by left-wingers, and has sometimes opposed UK Government policy, such as its accusation in 2005 that the administration was "sexing up" the war in Iraq. Competition within the UK comes from rolling news channel Sky News as well as the independent ITN, a major independent provider of news services to ITV and Channel 4. Around the world the BBC complements other news providers' services, as well as has its own. Some countries have restricted or banned BBC broadcasts and journalists' movements for internal political reasons, forcing correspondents to report on events in those countries from neighbouring countries. BBC News is currently headed by Helen Boaden. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Why is BBC World News now available in the United States? Q. I turned on my TV today, and to my shock, found "BBC World News" listed on the TV guide, logo and all. They already have BBC America, and that doesn't bother me as it isn't the biased BBC news 24/7, but now they've added the actual 24/7 BBC international news network. I called my service provider and was told that BBC World News has now been added to the station line up. Why is this acceptable?
