[edit] Overview
The main sources of China Today are news programs previously broadcast within the day in CCTV's News Channel and CCTV-4, the international service in Chinese. This is because all the news programs of CCTV have to share the same agenda.
CCTV's Chinese and English news services have very different writing and editing styles. Therefore, China Today's reporters usually use archive pictures, international news agencies and China's local televisions' news feeds to expand the stories with a style that is more fluent, professional and acceptable for western audience.
Unlikely other news production teams of CCTV-9, China Today is only in charge of one broadcasting in a day. This brings its reporters more time and energy to make their stories more interesting and in a better quality.
