in the news

     

In the News was a series of two-minute televise video segments that summarized topical news stories for children and pre-teens. The segments were broadcast in the United States on Saturday mornings on the CBS television network from 1971 until 1985. In the News was broadcast between animated cartoon programs, as were the arguably better-remembered Schoolhouse Rock and One to Grow On segments on competing networks ABC and NBC, respectively. NBC would also go on to produce its own competing version called Ask NBC News.
