Welcome to The News and Current Affairs Department - the department which never closes and welcomes everyone with a good story!
News and current affairs is at the heart of Channel Four's role as a public service broadcaster and has been ever since the Channel was launched in 1982.
Our departmental output is expanding all the time.
We broadcast forty one hour Dispatches a year in the heart of prime time. That is the key strand we seek proposals for.
But we are also looking for singles and series ideas. These would be likely to be either exclusives or documentaries with a current affairs content. And we do the occasional big events like our Street Weapons Commission. Our department plays a leading role in the cross-departmental seasons, especially campaigning seasons.
And we would like to hear from you if you have ideas for presenter-led current affairs programming which, while having serious intent, shows a bit of humour too and will appeal to younger viewers.
When you pitch ideas, please include what the online content could be.
We can commission ideas which are online only . We are particularly seeking ideas which work just as well on-screen and online and would love more web-only ideas.
Kevin Sutcliffe, Deputy Head of News and Current Affairs has a particular responsibility to ensure our output reflects the ethnic diversity of Britain.
