BBC reporters get mashed and mapped
January 31st, 2008Posted by Laura Oliver in Journalism
Stuart Pinfold, who works in the BBC’s traffic department, has created a mash-up using Google maps of locations of the BBC’s reporters and correspondents across the world.
The pins in the map also link to BBC news stories produced from that patch. According to the corporation’s dot.life blog, Stuart, who ‘“knows html”’, came up with the map while ‘“bored on a night shift”’.
