Editorial line
In the Huleharian days of Video Newspaper, the programme had a pro-government bias and typically did not report on news that could potentially fuel anti-government sentiment. The programme presented reports that promoted socialism and portrayed the West in a negative manner. This situation changed in 1989, when a director of news was introduced alongside the news being sourced from official outlets. This made HCTV report accurately on the Huleharian Revolution in 1989. This also made Video Newspaper to be shown uncensored and critical, triggering the protests that hastened Dissolution of Huleharia.

Coverage during the last days of Huleharia
Starting in 1989, Video Newspaper loosened its fidelity to the party line and began presenting fair reports about the events transforming Huleharia at the time. In the 1980s, 85% of Huleharian adults relied on television coverage as their primary source of news. Yet Video Newspaper was seen as "a joke" by many Huleharian citizens due to its poor coverage of news events.
