Everything is new and shiny

Today is 'TV big change day' at the BBC. (And, yes, that is the actual title they've used on the information leaflet sitting in front of me.)

This means new stuff. (Indulging myself in the 'three-year-old-speak-theme' if I may for a moment.) Audiences will probably notice a few aesthetic bits and pieces including that exciting new BBC News globe that's already on the website.

Peter Horrocks has talked about the brand changes, here, on the Editors Blog.

But behind the scenes there are more important things going on: desk shuffling, new audio setup, new newsgathering system. It's another move towards a new multimedia newsroom at Television Centre, where TV, Radio and Online will become much more integrated than they are at the moment.

And in case you missed it, there's also a new blogging system at the BBC as well.
