More videos, pictures and headlines – the international edition of the BBC News website revamped its front page today. The broadcaster is promoting its business and technology sections by adding pictures, as well as it putting more emphasis on video content. You can also find more headlines within the sections in the which balances the website.

"Internationally, advertisements appear on the right hand side of the page alongside editorial content and this has resulted, some of the time, in that side of the page becoming much longer than the rest of it," said the editor of the BBC News website, Steve Herrmann. He was explaining the changes in a post on the BBC's blog The editors.

The first reaction of the international BBC users seems positive. "I have noticed it and, appears to be in a more clearer format... And, more understandable," said user Dennis Junior.

The international front page of the BBC only includes British news if it is of world-wide interest. After taking away the possibility to choose between international or UK news frontpage last June, the BBC faced opposition to this move by British ex-pats. They found that British news was scattered across numerous pages.
