I prefer the term ‘on screen information’ rather than ‘on screen clutter’ - the video aspect of the screen gives very little information most of the time - particularly on rolling news channels where it’s often just a short bit of video on loop.
Rather than less ‘clutter’ I’d personally have more! I’d have the ‘pull back’ (is that what it’s called, I’ve forgotten) pretty much a permanent feature.
It all needs using much more flexibly though. For example in the event of a breaking news story, but where not much is going on, carry on with other news in a box, but have bullet points/maps/video clips about the breaking story in another box.
I’m all about a very busy screen. There’s rarely a case when too much information is a bad thing.
