The department is the world's largest broadcast news organisation and generates about 120 hours of radio and television output each day, as well as online news coverage.

The Guardian, formerly (1821–1959) The Manchester Guardian, influential daily newspaper published in London, generally considered one of the United Kingdom’s leading newspapers.
The paper was founded in Manchester in 1821 as the weekly Manchester Guardian but became a daily after the British government lifted its Stamp Tax on newspapers in 1855. “Manchester” was dropped from the name in 1959 to reflect the newspaper’s standing as a national daily with a positive international reputation, and its editor and editorial staff moved to London in 1964.
The paper is owned by the Scott Trust, which also owns the Guardian Media Group.
The Guardian have made losses in recent years. The National Newspaper division of GMG, which also includes The Observer, reported operating losses of £49.9m in 2006, up from £18.6m in 2005
The paper's readership is generally on the mainstream left of British political opinion
