If you want to talk with others about The Great British Bake Off or the Archers, Twitter is already established as the place to do it, or live blogs. Indeed, earlier online communities – such as the Radio 3 and Archers message boards, whose users were often deeply critical of BBC policy – were closed down by the BBC, with specific suggestions from administrators that the discussion should migrate to Twitter and Facebook. But the BBC is now in a different mood, ready to open a channel for direct communication with audiences and to reduce the importance of the mediation of the public’s responses.
should we take encouragement from this?
