Sky to integrate news production operations
Sky News is to integrate its online, television and radio news production operations to form a single multimedia unit. From September 29, more than 130 producers behind Sky News TV, Sky News.com, Sky News Radio and Sky News Active, will become part of one multimedia team, a press release said. As part of the changes a new department tasked with developing new technology for use across the platforms will be set up, led by current Sky News editor Steve Bennedik. Chris Birkett, executive editor, who will take control of news output across TV, online and radio under the changes, told Journalism.co.uk the move would bring new opportunities for Sky's journalists. “It's not about changing the way a journalist works on a given day; it's about changing a journalist's perception of their career,” he said. The New Technology Department will involve editorial, engineering and web staff and will not have 'strict parameters', he said.
