Rolling out Responsive BBC News worldwide: what have we learnt so far?
An update from BBC’s roll out of their responsive news site. Interestingly they’re beginning to see some down sides to their quick releases from a mobile first and agile approach with difference sites and page configuration in subsequent releases. They’re refactoring the code now but with more communication they could have avoided these issues.
The best thing about this is there’s a 20% uplift in visitors to the sites.
One of the themes that James Harding outlined in his vision for BBC News two weeks ago was digital transformation. We’re delivering on a roadmap of new consumer products, new tools for journalists and completely new ways of using data in our work. We want to extend the weekly global reach of BBC News to 500M users worldwide, across radio, TV and Online.
