News Centre puts off bi-media aims
Article Abstract:
BBC News Centre has announced it will suspend the implementation of bi-media working practices in its operations for five months after television producers voice out their oppositions over the plan. Producers of TV news said they will not participate in the bi-media pilot versions of BBC News Centre's One, Six and Nine O'clock News. Producers' opposition persisted despite receiving assurances regarding work conditions from BBC News Centre after the latter failed to cut down the total number of hours that producers will be required to work.
