"After the News" was a song by The Reels that was released as a single from their second album Quasimodo's Dream in July 1980.
The song fared disappointingly on the charts, peaking at number 65 in Australia.
The single was accompanied by a colourful video that features a puppet newsreader.

A "sequel" for "Media Themes" was released as a B-side to the band's later single "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)".
