It’s back to school this week for Kayden. I am going back to my usual morning routine, which is to wake Kayden up at 6 am, prepare his breakfast, wash up and get ready to leave the house. Oops! Don’t forget to put on a face mask before rushing out the door! During the Circuit Breaker period, I have been working at my desk in my study room from morning till night. At 9 am while having my breakfast at home, I will switch on my television to catch the morning news on Morning Express 晨光第一线 on Mediacorp’s Channel 8 8频道. This was my usual morning routine during the Circuit Breaker period – eyes on the television and sipping my cup of coffee.
Unlike most morning shows which focus on infotainment and news, Morning Express 晨光第一线 is a daily news and current affairs program which delivers top stories in just 30 minutes. The news covered in this programme includes business, finance bulletin, politics and local happenings.
Recorded live on Mediacorp Channel 8 8频道 at 9 am from Monday to Friday, Morning Express 晨光第一线 also shares snippets of trending topics on social media as well as other news portals. The concise news content makes Morning Express 晨光第一线 the perfect news show in the Chinese language for every busy person.
Most of the time, I feel that social media newsfeed is cluttered with a lot of news content which is prioritised based on what I like to know or read. In short, the posts shown to me are “what may interest me”. For Morning Express 晨光第一线, the news content is unbiased curated content, focusing on the level of importance and relevancy. For example, Morning Express 晨光第一线 will report world news about COVID-19 and what the world leaders are working on to improve the situation. These are stories which concern every one of all walks of life.
The morning gets even better with Morning Express 晨光第一线
