Several BBC staff building and working with recommenders contributed to the report below and you can find out more about how we ensure the BBC’s recommenders reflect our public service values in our update:

📢From what to read, to what we should watch or listen to next, recommendations are an inescapable feature of digital content.
Our new report explores the use of recommendation systems in public service media across Europe and the UK.

Insights from *@radiojay*
-The @bbc has been #voicefirst since 1922 (experience from the get-go), but still need to evolve
- interactive content: children's stories, news, music, etc.
- need to think about how to adapt when people become more demanding of their devices
James Fletcher retweeted
