New Five News - Coming Soon

There is a new blog from Five News which is written by new presenter Natasha Kaplinsky, as part of the build up to the relaunch of Five News under the name "Five News with Natasha Kaplinsky".

In her first video post, she talks about having done research for the new show at CBS News. So, we can expect to see a bulletin modeled on the "CBS Evening News with Katie Couric". She talked about sofas and the new set being built, and a more casual look. The casual approach to news has been done before, very successfully too, but it's very difficult to do without looking too gimmicky.

The new programme is due to launch in February so we'll keep an eye on that.
