Daily television news bulletins started on 5 July 1954, with the News and Newsreel. It began with a summary of the news, illustrated with maps and stills. Newsreaders Richard Baker and John Snagge were out of vision as it was thought their appearance would be a distraction and possibly even betray their opinions. The top story was on peace talks in Indo-China, followed by one on the French in Tunisia. The second part of the bulletin was given over to newsreel films, ending with a report on the end of meat rationing.
