BBC Online

BBC Online

The remit of BBC Online is to serve the BBC's public purposes through the provision of innovative and distinctive online content, and through distinctive propositions that reflect and extend the range of the BBC's broadcast services, available to all.

BBC Online should enable the BBC to develop a deeper relationship with licence fee payers and strengthen accountability. It should act as a starting point on the internet from which users can develop their use of the medium and provide a trusted guide to the wider internet.

BBC Online should, at all times, balance the potential for creating public value against the risk of negative market impact.
