Christmas In Australia
Christmas traditions in Australia, like Christmas in New Zealand, have many similarities to British, Irish, American and Canadian traditions, including traditional Christmas symbols featuring winter iconography. This means a red fur-coated Father Christmas or Santa Claus riding a sleigh, songs such as "Jingle Bells", and various Christmas scenes on Christmas cards and decorations. However, the timing of Christmas occurring during the Southern Hemisphere's summer season has resulted in the development of some local traditions as a result of the warmer weather. Traditions in common with New Zealand The traditional Christmas tree is central to Christmas decorations, and strings of lights and tinsel are standard. Decorations appear in stores and on streets starting in November and are commonplace by early December. Many homeowners decorate the exterior of their houses. Displays range from modest to elaborate, sometimes with hundreds of lights and decorations depicting seasonal moti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

This differs from regular News broadcasting, news broadcasts that place emphasis on news reports presented for simple presentation as soon as possible, often with a minimum of analysis. It is also different from the news magazine show format in that events are discussed immediately. The UK's BBC programmes, such as ''This World (TV series), This World'', ''Panorama (TV series), Panorama'', ''Real Story'', ''BBC Scotland Investigates'', ''Spotlight (NI), Spotlight'', ''Week In Week Out'', and ''Inside Out (2002 TV programme), Inside Out'', fit the definition. In Canada, CBC Radio produces a number of current affairs shows both nationally, such as ''The Current (radio program), The Current'' and ''As It Happens'', as well as regionally with morning current affairs shows such as ''Information Morning'' — a focus the radio network developed in the 1970s as a ...
