BBC Education becomes 'Education & Family'

12 Jan 2010

 The BBC has redesignated its education section on its news website as an 'Education & Family' page.

 While I can see that there are arguments for this change - and 'family' covers important issues -  it does mean less space and priority for education stories on this very important site (it's greatly to the BBC's credit that at least this part of the Corporation has upheld specialist journalism).

It's probably wrong for me to say too much about the change as I write regularly for the section. But you might want to have a look at it and respond to the Editor who has invited comments on the change.

The new page is at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/default.stm

The editor's explanation for the new page is at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2010/01/news_website_education_and_fam.html
