NBC Sky World News to launch this summer

Variety

NBC News and Sky News are teaming on a new news service aimed at English-speaking viewers around the world. “We see an opportunity to begin an approach that isn’t filtered through a U.S. perspective or a British perspective or any national perspective,” says Deborah Turness, president of NBC News International, who is overseeing NBC Sky World News' launch later this year. “We can bring our journalism to the wide world, but also invest heavily in global journalism so we can add to the story and really create an approach and product that can deliver the global perspective we believe the world wants right now.”
