Interesting article in The Guardian on the BBC News app and its notifications, describing the person who sends as the 'most powerful person in the British media' during the election. That may seem a little hyperbolic, but once you do step back and think about it, it is the biggest form of media consumption around, however frivolous some of the notifications are. Interesting to see the quality of the notifications are being monitored from up high in the BBC, the short word limit could cause issues withnless room for nuance.

Interesting to note in it the fact the bbc news at six is down to 3.2 million from just under 4m (I’m sure I read somewhere). I’ve seen it mentioned a few places that they used to say it was the George Alagiah effect. It does pose the question are the figures down because there is hasn’t been a consistent presenter or pair of presenters? I know some think it doesn’t matter but it could be a possibility. People like a familiar trusted face.
