BBC News 24 launches real-time editor’s blog

BBC News 24 has launched a real-time editor’s blog as an experiment.

“If it works, it might give you a fly-on-the-wall insight into how a continuous news channel operates: how and why we reach our decisions on editorial and production issues; the last-minute changes in running orders; which stories merit ditching all other news to ‘roll’; how we react when things don’t go entirely according to plan (which, since you ask, is rather more often than is good for one’s health),” wrote News 24 morning editor Simon Waldman.

    I really like this idea and think a lot of up-and-coming journalists, or just journalists in general would follow a blog like this. I think that a lot of the time the media world and work is glamorized a little more than reality and this might shed a good light on that. Inside of the newsroom isn’t seen very often from the outside world and it may give people a new appreciation for both the newsroom and it’s product.
