News for All

Research, development and testing of innovative forms of news and information formats.

What is the News for All project?

In partnership with BBC Cymru Wales, the News for All project will research, develop, test, and trial innovative forms for informational content to create new formats for journalism and information provision.

The aim is to create content which is more effective in meeting audience needs – particularly those audiences that currently don’t use or engage with public interest news outlets – and enhance public understanding.
