The BBC have introduced a new blog, ‘The Editors‘. Editors from across the Beeb contribute articles and insights into their day-to-day decision-making and operations.

I rather like the style, and the articles so far have been quite engaging and interesting.

The latest article, discusses the Bush & Blair conversation caught on tape at the G8 Summit. A fairly casual, retrospective look at a piece of news (although really, does it really matter if Bush said ’shit’? That was the lead-in for the piece on the actual news)

Their blog system seems to have a slight niggle though - it currently reads ‘Comments (6)’ yet only one is displayed. The others are presumably awaiting moderation, but still it seems slightly odd to include those in the count.

The BBC have added a ‘Most popular’ link to their news website, including live stats at the bottom of every article. The full stats page includes a quite fascinating world map, showing readership from countries around the globe in real time.

Well worth a look.
