In a world where greater per­son­al­i­sa­tion will be one of the key themes, audi­ences will be in control rather than our tra­di­tional bound­aries and demar­ca­tions. There will be people who reg­u­larly want a diet of news which ranges from the local to the global and we need to make sure our way of doing things sup­ports, rather than gets in the way of, pro­vid­ing this.

BBC NEWS | The Editors | Restruc­tur­ing the BBC

This caught my eye. I’ve been sort of fol­low­ing what the BBC has been up to, I admitt though in a half-​arsed way. Nev­er­the­less, I check out the new things on the back­stage and reboot site and tried to keep up with their changes.

After reading what the BBC was hoping to do with it’s reboot, that they wanted to restruc­ture them­selves and make avail­able more of their content along with a libary dating quite far of all their pro­grammes I was pretty inter­ested and happy.

It is really nice to see a cor­po­ra­tion that has such a large influ­ence world-​wide, pro­vid­ing news in 33 dif­fer­ent lan­guages, doc­u­men­taries on a whole manner of things pro­vid­ing a diaphane­ity in beau­ti­ful detail opening them­selves up.

The BBC seems to me a friendly company that really is putting good effort into pro­vid­ing us with top-​notch jour­nal­ism, doc­u­men­taries and whatnot else and who are still keeping in mind that we, essen­tially their cus­tomers are worth lis­ten­ing to.

More in response to the quoted block above - it is also nice to see that the BBC recog­nises the digital future and is con­sid­er­ing that people can and will want to access news and infor­ma­tion on the go, in per­son­alised ways. Cus­tomis­able daily email news sub­scrip­tions and down­load­able content is the way to go.

I’d be inter­ested to see how much more this company and others even­tu­ally (there are prob­a­bly more I am not aware of at the moment) begin to realise this and make sub­se­quent changes.
