BBC launches interactive guide to party election policies
When the general election was first called, the BBC website looked like it had been left on the back foot a little when it came to getting the best out of online interactivity and social media in their coverage.
They launched Reality Check, an expert team of journalists examining the truth in claims made by politicians, but Channel 4's been doing that (and building a loyal audience on Twitter) with the excellent Fact Check for a while now. The Beeb was also slow to release an interactive, three party 'Swingometer', letting the Guardian get there first. Both, incidentally, are baffling.
Where they've really come through, however, is with their simple but very user-friendly guide to the different party election policies with this interactive guide. Pick any three parties you like and, after a couple of clicks, compare their policies on key election points. Good work, Auntie!
