Radio news do not extend beyond two minutes so there is not much diversity or depth to the news. While television news is on for thirty minutes every day, it often confines itself to two or three issues. One news item could run for 12 minutes or more. The state broadcaster does not have producers and so newsreaders gather their own information and compile the news.
