It's Good To Talk
- 31 Oct 07, 04:23 PM
This blog aims to talk about what the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ does on the internet and in technology, including Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ websites, internet services and technology products like the iPlayer. It will feature contributions from Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Future Media and Technology teams, interactive editors, executives, controllers and FM&T's Director along with your comments.
The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ wants to be more open and accountable, so this site is a place for everyone to join the conversation. So please do criticize the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ 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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ , and to individual blogs. I hope to point to where . As Tom Loosemore outlined in the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ's , the web is a conversation. Rather than trying to own or control the conversation, I'm hoping to encourage Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ 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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ'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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ 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to include as many comments as possible, but comments which are abusive, offensive, defamatory or wildly off topic may not be published.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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ does editorially on its News websites and its television and radio news services, go to the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ News Editors Blog. The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ blogs page shows the full range of where you can talk to the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ through blogs. If you want to make things with Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ 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.
Nick Reynolds is editor, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Internet Blog.
