BBC to aggregate headlines from commercial outlets
Posted by Leah McBride Mensching on December 15, 2009 at 10:16 AM
The BBC, which yesterday announced a new initiative to grant the general public access to professional media training resources,
has also revealed it will expand the content available on its news
website by linking to rival sources via an aggregation-like system, reports The Independent.
The move comes after accusations headed by News Corp's chairman and CEO for Europe and Asia, James Murdoch, that the corporation, in choosing to remain free, is flooding the market and preventing competitors from expanding online and charging for their content. The new plan would reportedly see links to commercial Web sites added at the end of BBC stories.
