8 July 2010 Posted By bomski
One of the most popular websites in the world; BBC News; is set for a refresh in the next week or so. BBC editor Steve Hermann gives the skinny on what we can expect:
What’s new:
- a fresh, updated design, with more space for the main stories of the day
- better use of video and images
- clearer and more prominent labelling and signposting of key stories, whether you are on the front page or a story page
- a better indication of which are the most recent headlines
- easier ways to share stories with others, for those who wish to
Some things are staying the way they are:
- all the same content is still there: the best of the BBC’s journalism in text, audio and video
- the latest news headlines will be as quick and comprehensive as ever
- accuracy remains at the core of our editorial values
- we’ve been careful to keep things simple and easy to use; you have told us how important this is
