I thought it was an ITN report?
1984 Ethiopian Famine report. Bob Geldof watched it, and the rest is history.

IIRC, it was Michael Buerk on BBC Nine Oclock News that filed the original report from Ethiopia.

This is a real open-ended question, might as well mention any historical news event at random.

Mmm. Right. How old are you again?
If you are enquiring about "notable" BBC News reports, then Jill Dando's death must be a top contender. It was narrated by Kate Adie, who was at that time a notable war correspondent. The introduction and outtro of the programme included references by Martin Lewis to "our colleague".
As a child in the early-mid nineties, others I remember include Martin Bell's exemplary dispatches from Bosnia, including the time he was shot. There was of course the day John Smith, leader of the Labour Party, died. Robin Oakley leant a certain gravitas yet clarity to political reporting that neither Andrew Marr's amusement nor Nick Robinson's permanently HIGNFY-tinged cynicism have yet or will ever surpass.
And who could forget Dunblane?

Not really, there's a difference between a big story and a good report.
The best news reports tend to be those that aren't 'on the day' stories, like the Eithopia famine - investigations or exclusives
