NHK Newsline (stylized as NHK NEWSLiNE, formerly and also simply known as Newsline) (Japanese: NHKニュースラインNHK Nyūsurain) is a foreign news program aired on NHK's international broadcasting service NHK World TV. The program broadcasts on the hour, 24 hours a day.
NHK Newsline started as Day Line Japan in April 1997, with a length of 10 minutes, and airing several times a day. In 2000, the program's name was changed to Newsline. The English spoken portions of the program would gradually expand with time.
On January 30, 2009, News Watch 9 - an English-dubbed news program - was removed from the NHK World line-up. On February 2, 2009, Newsline was re-formatted in order to fill the gap left by News Watch 9, by changing to a news and information program. Newsline's time slot also changed to air at the top of every hour, 24 times a day. The length of the program was typically 30 minutes during the week, and 10 minutes on weekends and Japanese holidays. The program has been referred to as NHK Newsline since Late March 2016.[1]
On April 1, 2019, NHK Newsline changed to a 15-20 minute format on weekdays at most times, while other Newsline-branded programs fill the remaining time until the bottom of the hour. These include Newsline Biz, which features a latest business, financial, and economic news, with added analysis from studio guests, and Newsline In Depth, with a colorful variety of feature stories. Newsline is replaced by the daily news program Newsroom Tokyo on weekdays, except holidays, at 20:00 JST (replaying at 3:00 JST the following morning).[2]
On March 30, 2020, NHK implemented a new policy for referring to Japanese names, following the common practice in the Japanese language of listing the surname first followed by the given name. The new policy extends to all of NHK's English-language programming, including NHK Newsline. For example, Shinzō Abe (the former Prime Minister) is referred to as Abe Shinzō under the new policy.[3]
Formatedit
NHK Newsline updates viewers on the latest hard news with a focus mainly on Japan, the rest of Asia, and then finally around the world. Some editions feature segments focusing on Southeast Asia hosted by an anchor based in Bangkok. Feature segments follow, with business news and a global weather forecast. NHK Newsline is anchored by established NHK news presenters. The anchors speak entirely in English. English dubbing or occasional English subtitling if needed (previously just English subtitles until after 2011) are used in video footage when the spoken language is other than English. All measurements, including temperatures, are given in metric. Monetary figures are measured in Japanese yen, and figures in United States dollars are often also included. During periods of breaking news, Newsline is usually extended past its normal time slot.
