LONDON -- The BBC has found a growing audience for online news in the U.K., with some 5 million unique visitors watching 28 million videos in January, up 25 percent over the previous four months, according to the latest numbers from comScore. Why do visitors watch videos on the BBC and what are the compelling elements which drive consumption, are among the subjects of several interviews with the BBC conducted by Beet.TV in London earlier this month. Our first segment is with Mark Barlex, the On Demand Editor for BBC News. We explore the importance of proper indexing and titles. We conducted this interview in the BBC newsroom at Television Centre in West London. While the BBC is finding traction with viewers , the development of online video news is still in the very early stages, Barlex explains. More to come from Mark as well as from Mary Hockaday, Head of the BBC Newsroom. Andy Plesser, Executive Editor
