Horrocks In Global Grilling

The BBC’s multimedia news chief has taken part in a “Global Vlog” hosted by ViewMagazine.tv.

Peter Horrocks answers posers put to him by nine bloggers from around the world, who all submit their questions by video.

The project enables the corporation’s newsroom exec to respond to questions from the press, academic and commercial worlds.

In doing so, Horrocks provides an insight into the BBC’s thinking on the future of digital and topics include how to inspire reporters to use new media tools and how to best utilise mobile technology.

Among the British participants are a Guardian new media blogger and a lecturer from the University of Central Lancashire.

Other talking heads include a professor from a German university, an associate director from Norway’s Institute of Journalism and the CEO of a digital firm in Chicago.

The interview is well worth a look and available to see at ViewMagazine.
