News Programs
Newsreaders wear the same outfit every day, though they may vary in color. Black and blue for male newsreaders and green and pink for female and have the same haircut for everyone of the same gender. Newscasters must strongly project their voices when on air. Newscasts start typically with a blank red or blue slide, followed by a slow fade to the anchor. The set has the background of Pyongyang with the Taedong river. Nowadays even Mt. Baekdu or another view of Pyongyang is used as the background for the newscasts. In March 2012 the news readers began presenting news items in front of a computer-generated background. A graphic to accompany the story appears above the right or left shoulder — a style almost universally used in other countries by that time. When the report begins the graphic moves forward to fill the screen. In September 2012, the news format was changed to look more modern, using a news studio which looks quite similar to the one from CCTV's Xinwen 30 Fen, with a screen panel that shows images and videos in movement.
