BBC Launches Journalism Labs Blog

The BBC has unveiled a new blog to share and discuss its design developments in online journalism.

Journalism Labs is updated by staff from the Future Media & Technology team, which is concerned with non-editorial aspects of the corporation’s digital journalism output.

An introductory post explains the aims behind the new blog: “We would like to share with you what we’re doing today and discuss where things could be heading.

“We’re going to be focussing on new ideas, prototyping and experimentation. Hopefully, all this will be interesting and we’ll generate an ongoing, stimulating conversation.”

And this sharing has already begun with the first story post giving details on the results of the BBC’s recent experiment with linking in standard online news articles.
