BBC News and CBS News announced today a new editorial and newsgathering relationship that will significantly enhance the global reporting capabilities of both organisations.

The announcement was made by BBC Director of News and Current Affairs James Harding and CBS News President David Rhodes.


This new deal allows both organisations to share video, editorial content, and additional newsgathering resources in New York, London, Washington and around the world. The relationship between BBC News and CBS News will also allow for efficient planning of newsgathering resources to increase the content of each broadcaster’s coverage of world events.

This new partnership replaces the BBC’s current arrangement with ABC News.
