BBC news is an operational business division of the British
Broadcasting Corporation. Being the world’s largest broadcasting corporation
and news organization, BBC news generates through radio broadcasting, everyday
television, and most importantly, online news coverage. BBC news online
launched in the year of 1997. The website includes very detailed news stories
with multiple categories that are beneficial to consumers. BBC news online
contains international news coverage such as British, entertainment, science,
and politics.
Hard stories
that are stressed on BBC News online are often based on politics and matters in
society. Every day it seems as if a hard story about President Trump, the
American Government, and the possible association with another country is often
stressed simply because it is something to speak of throughout the week, there
are different parts of each story. BBC news and BBC online has covered about
then stories for six days straight regarding to President Trump possibly facing
impeachment. Feature news stories on BBC news online is often under the
inspirational stories category. Each feature story features a member or
organization that are often a part of well-known and sometimes unknown
communities.
Does BBC
news online publish in an atmosphere of freedom of speech? I would have to say
yes because of how authentic their stories can be. BBC news online has covered
multiple stories in the category of one expressing their freedom of speech as
well as if freedom of speech really free in America. On October 23rd,
2018, BBC news online published a news story questioning is Freedom of Speech
under threat not only in one country, but worldwide. The website also published
a news story expressing how hard it is to have freedom of speech in the media. 
Though many
feel as if BBC news online is a credible source many others feel otherwise.
According to reviews based on BBC News online UK, Excellent is 6%, Great is 2%,
Average is 1%, Poor is 1%, and Bad is 91%. All reviews are mainly based off of
political and economic beliefs. Other reviews regarding to BBC news online
overall has been looked at as a credible, but non credible source. According to
users, BBC news online often spreads hatred or encourages others to spread
hatred worldwide due to the amount of content and violence that is graphic on
their website, as well as the website manipulating people and their actions by
showing fake news.
BBC News
Online US and Canada appeal to be more diverse compared to the other country
genres. Being the largest online news provider for the UK area, BBC news online
has made steps to improve the technology and comprehension through launching
the BBC Worldwide News App. For even more better improvement the BBC News
Worldwide launched a YouTube channel in July, 2016. The app and YouTube channel
currently has content available to access worldwide. Though others have felt
that BBC News World online hasn’t done the best job with content or graphics, I
believe that the content is great and well updated for those who use the
website and app daily to access valuable information.
One thing I
noticed is that BBC online news provides more than feature and hard news
stories. The categories that are displayed at the top page of the website are
in black and white. BBC.com provides of course sports and news, but also different
stories relating to cultural matters, as well as future events and traveling
aspects. They also provide music links and top television shows that are
currently airing on different networks, and links about work life, and video content.
The thing
that I find most intriguing and interesting about the website is the Entertainment
and Arts section of BBC online. I feel that this section would most likely
provide the proper resources for those who would necessarily need to know about
the different cultural aspects of art and Entertainment. The section provides
stories about leaders in the Entertainment and Arts industry, as well as entrepreneurs
who start businesses relating to entertainment and art.
BBC World
News offers updated news covering Africa, Europe, Australia, Latin America, and
the Middle East. Stories that are covered in Africa has harder content than the
other areas, depending on what is taking place in each area or country. From reviewing
the website, the content that is provider for Australians is more based off of
sports and society matters. Latin America stories right now are mainly based on
the importance of change that are happening in politics today.
The founding
editor Mike Smartt and Project Director Bob Eggington helped form the BBC News
online and its content. For 21 years BBC news online has provided ultimate
services for those who rather use technology rather than television. Being the
world’s most largest broadcasting corporation, BBC news online has taken their
occupation to the next level by providing access to their news stories through
apps and the internet.
