News

The main supporting structure of Mediaset information consists of its TV news programs, Tg5, Studio Aperto and Tg4: 13 daily editions, as well as the breaking news di Tgcom, on the air on the 3 generalist channels from 6.00 a.m. till 2.00 a.m., a factual news system, which is very synergic and able to produce almost 2,000 hours of finished product each year.
In 2010, thanks to the brainstorming and creative push of the journalists, there were consolidated a number of infotainment products, which are containers that accompany viewers all through the day, from morning to evening, every day of the week.
In 2010 the informational publishing organisation was changed with the creation of News Mediaset, an internal news agency that works continuously for all the news brands.
