´óÏó´«Ã½

Sounds amazing Mary - congrats. Makes sense for the physical newsroom to align with the evolving use of social media and other technologies in the - I hope it's designed with some interactivity with viewers in mind!

"Over the next few months ... the team that produces the summaries and bulletins on Radios 2, 3, 4 and 6 Music will be moving in".

Of course, the team that make most of the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Radio News output (5Live) were moved hundreds of miles away to Manchester.

Quite the integrated newsroom - or not.

I prefer to get my news as it happens on the internet, you filter news to feed us what government and big business want us to know, the public are more savvy than you think, and you can't fool all of the people all of the time now we have the internet, I rarely watch TV now and when I do it is with an awareness of your consumer pressure, and government / big business bias

I know how important a sharp, new, properly-equipped & thoughtfully-organized working environment can be; so: CONGRATS & ENJOY!
I can't completely stop thinking about all the people (& number growing) who have no home at all. In tribute to these people & all other people in need, may the ´óÏó´«Ã½ honour them with insightful, objective & quality news - regardless of pressure(s) to do otherwise.

Sorry dear but if you're all so into BIG NEWS DAYS then why do you completely ignore MIXED MARTIAL ARTS? Anderson Silva V Chael Sonnen was one of the biggest pay per view sporting events ever -and not a word about it on the ´óÏó´«Ã½.. too many boxing and rugby stories taking up all the room?

Splendid. Can't or won't improve the journalism, so let's have a new newsroom instead. Any chance of less errors and typos? I'm only partially a tiny minded little git and I find something obvious wrong on your news website almost every day. Oh, and do get the DG's name spelled right.

Oh how exciting - any chance of some pictures?

There are always estimated savings in public-private partnerships. They all soon turn to actual losses - for the taxpayer!

More importantly, is when will ´óÏó´«Ã½ news regain its courage and independence, lost at the time of David Kelly's death.

I'm pleased for those at ´óÏó´«Ã½ news, what with their Big Day.

However, the interest doesn't seem to be reciprocated, in that the ´óÏó´«Ã½ doesn't seem at all interested in whether what's happening in the world makes it a Big Day for any of us, by reducing blog topics almost to nil.

I suppose we kept leaving The Wrong Kind Of Posts, though...

Maybe by grouping most of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ news in one ivory tower the ´óÏó´«Ã½ want to remove the last bit of outside influence on their one sided opinions?



Surprised this wasn’t announced solely on twitter, every debate and comment from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ seems to be conducted on that medium.
Still twitter does keep any debate off the ´óÏó´«Ã½, we don’t want the public involved in public broadcasting do we!!

Indeed. It's very effective at preventing any kind of informed or developed forum from arising. Ideal for preserving the status quo, I'd say. Can't think who that might suit...

It's fantastic that you now have a large number of teams, all doing exactly the same job, working side by side.

How much could have been saved by having a single teams for TV and Radio, in a much smaller building outside Central London?

Isn't it telling how the Beeb make a big song and dance about the squillions being spent on Manchester... but kept much quieter about another huge shedload of cash being spent on the relocation of the news facilities in London in the current economic climate?

That'll be the same economic climate that the ´óÏó´«Ã½ news keeps telling us is so bad.

Oh, the irony...

Brilliant!

It looks wonderful - I saw the new room last Thursday from the Media Café - very impressive. I look forward to seeing it in operation.

Unfortunately I'm seeing less of ´óÏó´«Ã½ News these days since the Multiscreen was abandoned a few weeks ago. I'm having to use a competitor's multiscreen for my 5 minute morning catchup!

Why isn't the ´óÏó´«Ã½ embracing the Digital Workplace? Do web journos really need an office?

Re #7: "Splendid. Can't or won't improve the journalism, so let's have a new newsroom instead. Any chance of less errors and typos?"
---------------------------

Ah, I think you'll find it's fewer errors and typos, not less. I'm sure you won't mind the correction...

Oh and by the way, it's work anywhere week in the UK this week - and the people who are and should be most capable of working anywhere, have a shiny, expensive new office...

So more light in the new building to produce more propaganda like the "death of Gaddafi" how about telling the truth for once in the news in this case that he was brutally murdered and then maybe start remembering what journalism is meant to be about. I will not be holding my breath.

"The new development has been financed by a public-private partnership involving a special bond - so no licence fee monies have been used for the construction."

Was the financier a philanthropist? Or have you made the usual mistake of confusing "funding" and "financing"?

A British corporation that is the biggest and most respected news organisation in the world opens the biggest and most technologically advanced news-gathering facility in the world and all some people can do is snark.

I fear you may indeed be correct, Ivan.

To the punctilious poster above - captain_insensible (comment No.7) - it's 'fewer', not 'less'. People in glass houses (or even 'seven floors of striking glass') should not throw stones. In fairness to ´óÏó´«Ã½ News, that's not the type of basic mistake they would make.

Rhethreg, my grammar is gooder than yours....

Any chance the ´óÏó´«Ã½ News team could allow comments on the following story:

/news/uk-northern-ireland-18792010

It is a disgrace that someone can apply for legal aid for this while many more deserving recipients are turned down....

"Most of the time a big day in the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Newsroom is defined by the stories. The Japanese tsunami. The death of Gaddafi. The Eurozone crisis..."

Yes News stories but on Sunday, after waiting for the News bulletin which incidentally was additionally of reduced duration it opened with Wimbledon then moved on to the F1 squeezing in scant seconds on a non-sport story then back to guess what, sport.

Lennox was murdered in Belfast. Plans to visit Belfast or any other place in the country NOW CANCELED.
