The show is divided into two segments to make up a half hour show. In depth documentaries normally last the entire duration of the programme but some stories take up just a single segment.
Each segment begins with an introduction from the show's host, Diana Lin, who is also the show's Senior Executive Producer. The stories then normally start with a teaser to set the tone, although this is not always the case. Part one usually ends with a hooker, giving viewers a taste of what's to follow in part two. After a brief commercial break Diana Lin then reappears to introduce the next part, which tends to contain greater focus than the first segment. The host returns at the end of the programme to roundup the show and pass on the show's mailing address.
The Pearl Report team is made up of its Senior Executive Producer, Diana Lin, 6 full time reporters as well as 1 part-time reporter. As of 2010 they were:
