The new unit, which will be based in Giant Newsroom of The Future at Broadcasting House, will apparently provide "graphics, data visuals and editorial content across TV, connected TV, PCs, tablets and mobiles for UK and global audiences". As you might guess, it's really a plan to save money by using the same visual "across all platforms", thus cutting graphic artist jobs. The reality is that, in tv news, there is a current fashion for using a fancy graphic to anchor stories, rather than a picture - whilst the money's already gone from online news, and they're using a picture or simple text, rather than a fancy graphic. Good luck with the DQF cuts, Amanda.
