This public all-news channel was created on 26 April 1999 thanks to a Service Contract between the Italian public television network RAI and the Italian Minister of Communications.The new channel experiments with an innovative model that combines television, internet and digital technologies. The choice of a multi-screen format, widespread use of video conference connections with correspondents and experts, was significant. The research of the separation from narration of the news and opinions about them is one of the strongest points of this channel. Often, videos are broadcast without commentary, and only some subtitle; so as to not bias the viewer.
