of international broadcasters.
A week

developments day by day to ensure viewers are fully briefed on all
aspects of the war.
Narrated

nuances in reporting style and propaganda.

guide the 主播大秀 THREE audience through the major events of the past
week using television footage from around the world.
"This
is an important part of 主播大秀 THREE's commitment to news and current
affairs and will be a chance for the audience to take stock of events
in the war in what we hope will be a relevant and accessible way."
Executive
Producer Colin Savage added: "In a climate where viewers are
being bombarded with information from many different sources in
a constantly changing news environment, The War This Week aims to
give an accurate overview in an in depth but easily digestible form."
The
programme starts with a look at the three main stories of the week.
Providing
background and a timeline to the war it takes a look at five or
six of the main stories for each day of the week.
At
the end viewers will be shown the most significant image of the
week.
