Spanish term or phrase: programas con técnicas “urgentes” de puesta en escena
El tratamiento fílmico está alejado del reportaje o crónica de sucesos, tan habitual en las situaciones marginales de los barrios urbanos, que se refleja en la parrilla televisiva a través de programas con técnicas “urgentes” de puesta en escena (cámara en mano y constante movimiento, cámara oculta, seguimientos de personajes, entrevistador presente, iluminación natural, etc.). XXX explora otras vías con la vocación de ser entendida tanto en Japón y Corea como en España o los países del Norte y Este europeo, desde la tradición narrativa del cine de no ficción.

programmes using dramatic "as-it-happens" production techniques
Explanation:
I've allowed myself two adjectives to try to capture the implications as I see them. "Urgente" means creating a sense of urgency, and also immediate, right there, "as it happens". But it's all staged really, so I want to put "dramatic" in, both in the sense of exciting (another implication of "urgente") and in the sense of theatrical: an aspect echoed in "puesta en escena".

"Medals should be struck for Sky News's Jeremy Thompson and David Chater, for the most dramatic as-it-happens pieces from outside and inside Baghdad."

Reference: Urgente

Reference information:
Not sure if it works for other countries, but in mine (Argentina) "urgente" is the 'alarming' heading one sees when watching news programs and equivalent to "breaking news". Perhaps this helps...
