BBC News editors get monthly show

A new monthly news programme has been commissioned for BBC One.

BBC News: The Editors will comprise a selection of short and engaging films on a variety of topics, including arts, sport and science alongside business, politics and foreign affairs.

Presented by John Simpson, the BBC’s World Affairs Editor, the programme will showcase the journalistic skill on offer from the BBC’s on-air editors, all of whom have a wealth of editorial experience in their specialist area.

“The Editors is a really exciting addition to BBC One’s News and Current Affairs programming. This new monthly Monday night series presented by John Simpson will provide audiences with a deeper, more comprehensive look at world issues and reinforces the channel’s commitment to high quality journalism and analysis.” – Danny Cohen, Controller of BBC One

BBC News: The Editors is due to air in spring 2013.
