This is the news studio. These are the news headlines. This. Is. The. News.
At a time when there is more news than there has ever been and yet our trust in journalists is at an all-time low, News News News is a different kind of news show.
Recorded in front of a studio audience and broadcast online to potentially billions of viewers, this is a TV bulletin made for adults by children. Working with artists Andy Field and Beckie Darlington, pupils from St Matthew’s Primary School presented the headlines from their everyday lives, offering a distinctive look at what was going on in Ipswich in autumn 2023.
From your seat at the Gallery Studio Theatre, you had the chance to watch the news being made right in front of your eyes in the UK’s smallest news studio. Facts are checked, breaking news is gathered and the presenters ready themselves to go live on air.
