Do better, please. We put those points to bbc news and they told us told us. Now, bbc news has a problem, where are its audiences of the future to be found . Research from the regulator off, and 2019 found that young people in britain have almost entirely abandoned Television News broadcasts with 16 to 2a year olds spending a third less time watching live news from Public Service broadcasters than they were five years ago. As for the younger age group, youtube is on course to overtake Bbc Television next year as the main Current Affairs provider among 12 to 15 year olds. We were prompted to look at this phenomenon by a recent email by a 12 year old called sophie. We also offer to expand on that by the video.

My view is theres not enough content on the bbc to i the video. My view is theres not enough content on the bbc to engage people my age into watching it in the future and the present. Because theres been many important Subject Matters that have happen online and itjust hasnt been broadcasted. Like the right and cc and many other stuff. Another thing is that theres never been any good stories perhaps like and twitter and youtube and thats never been on bbc either. And two older generations and people that had had the apps are starting to think really bad stuff about them. Really they are important for Peoples Mental Health and meeting people online to talk to them. Itrefoil people online to talk to them. Well one of those people online to talk to them.

Well one of those at bbc newsjob it one of those at bbc news job it is to think about how to appeal to younger audiences is debbie ramsey. We can speak to her now. Sophie referred to mcc which is to do with mine craft. I suspect a fair amount of our older audiences wont know what that is. I wonder is that they sort of thing that should be getting more attention on bbc news . I think it does aet more attention on bbc news . I think it does get attention. More attention on bbc news . I think it does get attention. Some more attention on bbc news . I think it does get attention. Some of more attention on bbc news . I think it does get attention. Some of these | it does get attention. Some of these subjects to get attention but i think sometimes the challenge is getting it on the right places so that young people can actually see it. Certainly in bbc news we do try and make sure that the younger audience age 12 to 15 know about what we are doing and know that news is for them. Sometimes it may be that the way we do that is through the platform like instagram or tiktok which we are working on our strategy around. Or youtube was about our aim is always to bring them back to the bbc because there is so much content and so much good content that we are making just for them.

It is a challenge for us to be where younger audiences are. And perhaps ring them back to the bbc. There is absolutely no point in the bbc doing everything that everybody else is. We have to add value. It cantjust be doing things on youtube, tiktok, other platforms that dont add value to peoples lives. There are several things that are in place and are being brought into place in bbc news. Like bbc young reporter which is aimed at 11 to 18 year olds and is aimed at 11 to 18 year olds and is aimed at 11 to 18 year olds and is a way in which young people can tell their own stories with support from colleagues inside the bbc across a range of platforms in a range of outlets.

Its a really tricky one i think for anyone. Teenagers . Its a really tricky one i think for anyone. Because teenagers . Its a really tricky one i think for anyone. Because when | i think for anyone. Because when youre that age you tend to be consuming the content that is for slightly older than you. Sophie in the piece we saw earlier mentioned twitch and she mentioned tiktok, i think. All of those platforms are actually aimed at older, youve got to be 13 to even start using those platforms. Its making sure that the content that we have out there is also suitable for canoes for all audiences to understand. Really being clear in our tone in our language, simple and just avoiding jargon and aiming stories that are to high. For example if youre going to high. For example if youre going to do a scientific story not rising it for the scientific community. You mentioned the it for the scientific community. You mentioned the challenge ofjargon. Actually, 26 is a perfect example what we know young people really care about Climate Change. So much of the coverage seems people using Rain Good Wingback language talking about carbon emissions.

As long as we arent maintaining that and not being skewed a certain way say, telling stories all from these cells of england for a 50 something audience. As long as we are not falling into the category or falling into the habit ofjust telling stories for younger audiences or more urban audiences. And we are keeping in mind the full picture, i think that we will meet that challenge because we are so aware of it now was up and we know that we need to hit all these different people who we serve.
