''Newsjack'' is a satirical sketch show hosted by Nish Kumar since February 2015, and previously by Romesh Ranganathan, Justin Edwards and Miles Jupp. It was first broadcast on BBC Radio 7 on 4 June 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Newsjack - Production Details, Plus Regular Cast and Crew )〕 The series is notable for having an "Open door" policy on writing, meaning that unsolicited writers without contract to the BBC can send in material. The show is designed to give new writers an opportunity to get material broadcast. It is hoped by the people behind the show that it may become a modern version of ''Week Ending'', an earlier sketch show which also accepted material the same way. ==Format== Each episode of ''Newsjack'' begins with an introduction from the presenter before the main sketches. The host is joined by a different cast each week - a mixture of experienced sketch performers and new upcoming talent. Previous regular cast members include: Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Lewis MacLeod, Pippa Evans, Andi Osho and Jess Robinson; Philip Fox has also appeared in several episodes. As well as standalone sketches, the show also features recurring segments, including: *The Newsjack App: Mock answerphone messages. These are designed so that writers can create one-liners and other kinds of quick jokes. *From the Archive: The show looks at a (fictional) programme from the past to see how news stories similar to those of today were covered in the past. *Julia: a woman called Julia has been locked in a room, which symbolises the dark world of petty journalism, e.g.: reporting on the wedding of Zara Philips. As a result, she has become psychotic, longing to see sunlight; upon which the presenter shuts the door on her desperate pleas. *Newsjack Films: Spoof movie trailers. *Celebrity Diary: The cast impersonate a celebrity and see recent events from their viewpoint. *Corrections: At the end of the programme, the cast read out made-up corrections relating to things from the previous episode. *And Finally: A post-credits sequence where the show pretends the current episode is an old show and make jokes about how the world might have changed since the programme went out. Writers wishing to submit material for ''Newsjack'' are invited to write material for these segments as well as their own sketches not related to them. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Newsjack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
