New BBC News
March 31, 2008
I mentioned it late last night and it seems to have already happened - BBC News Online has got it’s new look and my first reaction - it’s a stretched version of the old look.

It’s been a long time coming but it looks like BBC News Online has finally launched embedded videos. By embedded videos I’m actually talking about inline flash movies as part of a page.

As you’ve probably noticed Jersey is at the centre of one of the biggest stories in Britain at the moment, or at least it was until the media machine moved away last week.

I was just listening to No Agenda with John C Dvorak and Adam Curry where they were talking about the news and the proliferation of entertainment news into every aspect of reportage.

October 5, 2007
One of the closest things Britain has to the American news megastar - the god awful Natasha Kerplunk - is to leave the BBC for Five after five years terrorising the BBC.
Finally we can put an end to stories like “There was a lightblub blown in the TV Centre Newsroom for six months - it couldn’t be fixed until Natasha Kaplinsky was available to cut the ribbon that opened the ladder.”
The sharp faced news personality, who seemed to manage to get her mug everywhere, all the time - is to head to Five in 2008 where she will front their main news programme - and in turn probably be EVERYWHERE across five, five life and five US.
In a statement, Kaplinsky said: “After five incredibly rewarding years at the BBC, I found the chance to work with the team at Five too exciting to pass up. Chris Shaw has an unrivalled track record in reinventing television news and I already know how talented Jay Hunt and David Kermode are, having worked with them at the BBC. Five has changed the face of news before, and now they’re going to do it again. I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
She will be replacing Kirsty Young who left Five News to join … the BBC!
