Telegraph.co.uk has launched a new blog aimed at updating developing breaking news as quickly as possible.

The blog, Making News, will give “updates and commentary” on the day's top stories throughout the day. It was inspired by the Breaking News and Phil Spector Trial news blogs on The Los Angeles Times's Web site, as well as Times Online's News Blog and USA Today's On Deadline blog.

Site Editor Marcus Warren, who launched the site's test phase last week, said although he appreciates the site's existing blogs, they “are not a lot of help” for readers who want to know what is going on and opinions on the day's events as they happen.

Making News is expected follow the way AOL News presents its news stories, laid out according to news values and priorities in a chronological single column.
