The BBC has reorganised its news department into a single multimedia newsroom.
Peter Horrocks, who now leads the unified newsroom, said on his blog that three distinct departments - Radio News, TV News and News Interactive "are no more".
The single multimedia newsroom now oversees the BBC News website, all radio summaries and bulletins except those on Radio 1, BBC World Service news, BBC News 24, BBC World, and news bulletins on BBC One. A new multimedia programmes department oversees BBC Radio Five Live, BBC Radio 4's Today, World at One, Newshour, Newsnight, The Andrew Marr Show, Hardtalk and Radio 1's Newsbeat.
"This new structure will help us to be more efficient and so save money to invest in improvements to BBC News," explained Horrocks. "We will be putting more into on-demand news – for instance developing content for new platforms such as mobile and IPTV; increasing personalisation and providing purpose-made audio/video for the web."
