The BBC already has a pretty good track record for its ‘process’ blogs, what with The Editors’ Blog, the Internet Blog and Journalism Labs. And it has launched another, just in time to host a post by Mark Thompson on the BNP / Question Time decision.

The blog, edited by Chris Jones, will be a place where ‘decision makers and experts can talk about things going on inside the BBC’ it says.

“This could include anything; from major announcements to how parts of the corporation operate. We’ll also be highlighting and linking to the fascinating debates happening on the many other blogs, message boards and other social media, inside and outside the BBC website.”
