Worldfocus was an American newscast focused on international news and reporting. The newscast was originally anchored by Martin Savidge and later hosted by Daljit Dhaliwal. It was produced by WNET New York and distributed to U.S. public television stations by American Public Television. It ceased broadcasting on April 2, 2010.
The program launched on October 6, 2008, in many cases replacing BBC World News, which continued to air on some public TV stations; following the cancellation of Worldfocus, many of the stations that had dropped the BBC program have since resumed carrying it. Worldfocus was not part of the national PBS schedule and did not air on all U.S. public TV stations. Worldfocus was a "testing ground", and "important laboratory" for new digital production techniques.
The program uses a number of producers and reporters from a variety of international media sources. News stories and video segments are used from: ABC, Al Jazeera English, Asian News International, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Channel 2 (Israel), Channel 10 (Israel), the Christian Science Monitor, Deutsche Welle, ITN, LinkTV, NBC News, The New York Times, NHK, and Rede Globo.[1]
