Sky News Online offers an eye on newsroom hustle and bustle
Sky News Online has opened its studio doors to users online.
It is introducing a live feed to its web site, which will broadcast
behind-the-scenes footage from the Sky news centre.
A camera in the newsroom's upper gallery will record studio activity.

The move hopes to build on Sky's 'transparent' news studio introduced in
October 2005, to make the production of 24-hour rolling news a more
interactive process.
As well as watching presenters, viewers will be able to see the
production team, including cameramen, technicians and producers, at
work.
Sky News online associate editor, Simon Bucks, said: "One of the aims of
the new-look site is to create a dynamic, engaging user experience. With
the newsroom webcam, you'll now be able to see what goes on both in
front of and behind the cameras."
The webcam addition is part of the first phase to redevelop Sky News
Online. The site seeks to improve its design and usability, and bring
its reputation for breaking television news to the web.
Steve Bennedik, editor of Sky News Networked Media, said: "We are
offering greater flexibility, but in a cleaner and uncluttered way.
During the year, content and functionality will evolve as new online
features are regularly introduced."
