BBC Innovates With Interactive Election Coverage
With UK polling day arriving next Thursday, wired voters are searching in droves for the best election news and information. Lucky for them, online media has never been so comprehensive; and in the case of the BBC, so interactive.
The BBC is keeping good on its promise to deliver 'the first truly interactive election coverage’ offering an imaginative and absorbing section, according to a review by Journalism.co.uk. An animated Peter Snow hosts a raft of interactive tools including a quiz, seat calculator, and poll tracker - while the real Peter Snow provides video instructions on how to use the interactive swingometer.
Here you can also share your own views on dozens of important issues through the site's Have Your Say online debates. Blogs are likewise playing a larger role on the website this year, offering first-hand reports from around the country, as well as the best of the newspapers, web, and e-mails.
Much of the BBC online coverage is available via email, RSS feeds, and mobile/PDA’s.
