I’ve been meaning to write up a post on the BBC Editors blog for a while now, but I thought I’d mention this as it’ll take place tomorrow.

According to Simon Waldman on a post titled ‘Realtime blogging‘;

If it works, it might give you a fly-on-the-wall insight into how a continuous news channel operates: how and why we reach our decisions on editorial and production issues; the last-minute changes in running orders; which stories merit ditching all other news to ‘roll’; how we react when things don’t go entirely according to plan (which, since you ask, is rather more often than is good for one’s health).

Live or realtime blogging has been a regular feature on some weblogs for a while. Blogging Juggernaut Engadget has been doing it at events and launches for a while. Media Guardian have been doing it for TV shows like The Apprentice and this week the Radio Festival, although those updates are hourly rather than every few minutes.

The BBC’s efforts around blogging are admirable, although I think there could be a little more range on the Editor’s Blog as far as authors and issues are concerned. I’ll post again after the realtime blog, with a few notes on the whole live blogging concept.
