I hope that I'll be able to give a fresh perspective to the major events that we will be reporting on from around the world. The new program will give her a larger role, with reports that consistently focus on international events meaningful to an American audience. The broadcast will also include a nightly, national weather report. ITN is one of the largest and most respected independent news organizations in the world, producing news and other factual programming for national and international channels. APS, located in Boston, is a major source of programming for American public television stations.
