How to Use the BBC News Theme Presentation Template

Open and Unlock Your Broadcast Deck:

• Open the .pptx file in Microsoft PowerPoint and click Enable Editing, or open the Canva link and select Use template for new design to generate your editable workspace.

Craft Breaking News Headlines & Agenda Items:

• Edit the title slide to set your main announcement or company briefing topic.
• Go to the Tonight's Headlines slide and replace the 5 numbered bullet bars with your meeting agenda, quarterly milestones, or core talking points.

Customize Lower-Third Tickers & Category Badges:

• Double-click the blue-and-red bottom ticker bands on each slide to update the live contextual subtitles, timestamps, or presenter names.
• Adjust the upper-right category headers (Top Story, Business, Technology, World, Sport, Analysis, Weather) to reflect the exact segment you are presenting.

Update Market Figures, Data Tiles & Scoreboards:

• Navigate to Markets & Business to type in key performance indicators, stock movements, growth rates, or quarterly revenue metrics inside the high-contrast red stat blocks.
• Use the Sport split-screen layout to run head-to-head product comparisons, campaign A/B test results, or competitor breakdowns.

Swap Anchor Photography & Segment Visuals:

• In PowerPoint: Right-click existing image frames (such as global skyline photos, industrial tech machinery, or the weather reporter), choose Change Picture > From a File..., and insert your own team or campaign images.
• In Canva: Drag and drop your uploaded photos directly over the media frames on the canvas for instant alignment.

Broadcast Live or Export:

• Press F5 in PowerPoint or click Present in Canva to deliver a full-screen, television-style bulletin to your audience.
• Select File > Export > Create PDF in PowerPoint or Share > Download > PDF Standard in Canva to distribute print-ready press briefing packets and executive memos.
