BBC Writers Room
What is the BBc Writers' Room?
The BBC Writers Room is a website for all members of the BBC scriptwriting department to have an opportunity to read and evaluate new scripts, and whether it is worth commissioning or improving an idea. For example, the executive producer within the Writers Room will decide whether the script that has been submitted will be hired for a corporation channel.
How are the BBC adapting with new technology?
BBC are using new technology by adding a different range of platforms to help scriptwriters send their scripts in an easy format and become more aware of the BBC Writers Room by utilising the new media formats to enlighten them about the chance to get their scripts commissioned. For example, BBC now uses Twitter to make scriptwriters aware of the opportunity to get their scripts commissioned. Also, incorporating Twitter into their website will help promote the new shows, as Twitter users vary from a range of different ages, allowing a new show to be targeted and due to more people using the social networking site.
