BBC closes online action pages
17th March 2008, 4:19 pm
The BBC’s Action Network web site, which helps people get involved in community action, is to close at the end of April. They say that “the pace and innovation of online democracy means that our members can access a wider range of web tools, and have more control of their campaigns” elsewhere.
However, as part of BBC’s commitment to help people engage in civic life and national debate, a new service of ‘topic pages’, as well as giving the latest news stories on an issue, will link to wider debate through blogs, campaigns and web sites. And many of the Action Network guides and briefings will be moved across too.
