The basis of the work of ARD-aktuell is an administrative agreement of all nine ARD institutions, which defines the organization of the editorial office and the basic structure of the programs.
ARD-aktuell produces Tagesschau, Tagesthemen and the news broadcasts of the television channel tagesschau24. They previously produced the wochenspiegel (1953-2014) and the nachtmagazin (1995-2022).
