BR24

BR24 is the news brand of Bayerischer Rundfunk, the Bavarian member of the ARD federation. It is a concrete illustration of the state-based structure of German public broadcasting: alongside the national agenda, Bavaria's own politics, economy and daily life sit at the centre of its output.

That regional reporting is visible at national scale shows how Germany's federal structure is reflected in its media. The channel carries national and international news as well, but what distinguishes it is journalism originating in Bavaria.
