BBC to Become Open Platform for Internet Age

BBC News: The BBC has pledged to work more closely with U.K. arts and science institutions to “make Britain the greatest cultural force in the world.” BBC director general Tony Hall set out plans for the next decade, saying the corporation will become an “open BBC for the Internet age.” A children’s iPlayer and a pool of local reporters who will share work with local newspapers are also planned. Yet he said funding cuts would mean the loss or reduction of some services.
