[USMA:35513] BBC News UK web site

[Ezra Steinberg]

Well, I took to heart the comments about how the BBC World Service is metric and the domestic BBC is Imperial and looked at the BBC News web site, which offers an international version and a UK version.   I had always viewed the international version by default, but this time I selected the UK version and then selected England from the navigation bar as the focus for news. Should I be surprised to discover that the news stories I saw were all 100% metric (and none of the ones I read specifically oriented towards science or technology)? Is it that the web site (even the UK version) has different editorial guidelines from domestic radio and TV from the BBC?   Ezra
