@kate_day I’m very sorry to hear that. Peter was one of the loveliest & most talented people I’ve ever worked with. He managed to be simultaneously unfailingly kind & unfailingly thought provoking. His scripts & engaging delivery always amazed me. My thoughts are with you & your family.
A long held vision finally achieved. Self-service personalisation, as you easily find the parts of a great show you love. Congrats to @BBC_News_Labs team & colleagues who’ve worked so long & hard on this.
Wonder what you missed on #R4Today but don't want to listen back to the whole show? We are running an experiment where you can go straight to individual story segments for parts of the programme on the BBC Sounds website (not the app for now). Try it here: https://t.co/JAWARt9Ba7
Huge news for our team today! BBC interactive news, which started life in Labs, is now a default response to ‘Alexa, what's the news?' for new users with Amazon smart speakers in the UK. https://t.co/3nRYlUbYtE
Strange week. Last Sunday: polishing presentation for senior leaders on how @BBC_News_Labs can deliver more effective #Innovations. This Sunday: polishing my cv, as I’m told the “editorial” part of the team moves to Cardiff & my job disappears. https://t.co/D6ch88MKu4
You thought there was nothing new to say about the news in 2020? Well, how about a 2 minute video jam-packed with our innovations in BBC News. https://t.co/7qZZOUukKT

In the clip, I channel @DavidACaswell's smart ideas about "existential innovation"—and why such innovation matters for news orgs to move beyond the "bright, shiny things" described by @julieposetti's @risj_oxford report. See...

Fascinating presentation on what is innovation by @nicerbloke from the @BBC_News_Labs in our @JInnovationCity module. Also great to see what the News Labs are currently working on.
Slightly surreal to be appearing on a show I helped create. 10 mins in is coverage of @BBC_News_Labs work on election night. Thanks to the @BBCTechTent team for taking an interest. 👋 https://t.co/JojboiqSud
A huge congratulations to the entire team. Months of work and collaboration came together for us last night - and this morning! #GE2019 https://t.co/9LuIGJDhhz
Countdown to @BBC_News_Labs biggest ever experiment. Can we use machines to help us write 690 individual constituency results stories (in English & Welsh) tonight? 🤞
Geeky thread alert. 🤓
A few people have been interested in our announcement that on election night the @BBCNews website will be using semi-automated journalism to write stories on the results for all 650 constituencies in English and 40 in Welsh.
So how does this work? 🤔
