Currentaffairs is a genre of broadcast journalism where the emphasis is on detailed analysis and discussion of news stories that have recently occurred or are ongoing at the time of broadcast.
This differs from regular news broadcasts where the emphasis is on news reports presented for simple presentation as soon as possible, often with a minimum of analysis.
It is also different for the newsmagazine show format in that the events are discussed immediately.
The Current is also the name of a radio station owned and operated by Minnesota Public Radio.
The Current is a currentaffairs radio show hosted by investigative reporter Anna Maria Tremonti on the CBC.
Although primarily a serious news program, The Current has traditionally begun each show with a brief satirical comment by a CBC producer credited only as The Voice.
