This blog aims to talk about what the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ does on the internet and in technology, including ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ websites, internet services and technology products like the iPlayer. It will feature contributions from ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Future Media and Technology teams, interactive editors, executives, controllers and FM&T's Director along with your comments.
The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ wants to be more open and accountable, so this site is a place for everyone to join the conversation. So please do criticize the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ in your comments (I suspect you will not need much encouragement!), and ask tough questions. When someone makes a point that needs a considered response on this blog, I'll try to make this happen. I welcome comments on this post about what topics you think the blog should cover and how it can be improved.
This blog will also link out to the conversation about the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ , and to individual blogs. I hope to point to where . As Tom Loosemore outlined in the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's , the web is a conversation. Rather than trying to own or control the conversation, I'm hoping to encourage ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ people to join in (and I may even join in myself!).
As Peter Barron (Editor, Newsnight) has pointed out on the News Editors Blog the technology supporting the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's blogs is not working as well as it should. But rather than delaying launching this blog until all the problems were fixed I decided to get something live, even if it's not perfect. Thanks to everyone at the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ who made it happen.
Comments on this blog will be moderated. Due to the technical limitations mentioned, comments will be premoderated. So comments will be read before a decision is made whether to publish them. I aim to include as many comments as possible, but comments which are abusive, offensive, defamatory or wildly off topic may not be published.
When the current technical difficulties are resolved I hope to move this blog to post moderation so that the conversation can flow more easily.
If you want to discuss what the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ does editorially on its News websites and its television and radio news services, go to the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ News Editors Blog. The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ blogs page shows the full range of where you can talk to the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ through blogs. If you want to make things with ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ feeds, I recommend a visit to the rather wonderful .
Leaving a comment on the blog, is not the same as making a formal complaint. If you want to do that, this website will help you - and this way, you're guaranteed to receive a formal response.
Let battle commence!
Nick Reynolds is editor, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Internet Blog.
