Ofcom investigates BBC's news website

摘要

Telecoms watchdog Ofcom will examine whether the BBC runs too many irrelevant news stories on its website, after newspaper bosses criticised it for "chasing online traffic". A study of what the BBC covers online was proposed by the Cairncross Review, published in February, which looked into how newspaper journalism could survive in the face of intense online competition (see 'Question of the Fortnight', Issue 548).
