What’s inside each issue

TV leads Which story each outlet chose to open with, timed to the second and compared across all five channels. Who agreed, who diverged, who was the outlier.
TV running orders The full running order for each bulletin — every item, timed — across BBC News at Ten, Newsnight, ITV News at Ten, and Channel 4 News, as well as headline details for GB News and Sky News.
BBC website The BBC News homepage, sampled every ten minutes through the broadcast day. Every lead story logged and timestamped — including every time a headline was quietly rewritten.
BBC YouTube Every video published to the BBC News YouTube channel that day: title, duration, view count and a direct link.
Radio 4 Running orders for World at One, PM and the Six O’Clock News — what led, what followed, how long each item ran.

About the project

NIBs is an experiment in using AI to do something that used to require a team of people: tracking, recording and comparing UK broadcast news editorial decisions in near real time.

The briefing is generated automatically each night from recordings, transcripts, scraped data and structured logs. Analysis is produced by a large language model and should be read critically.

This is a beta. It is offered to a small number of readers while we test reliability and usefulness. Feedback is actively welcomed — it shapes what NIBs becomes.
