The BBC has launched the online hub for the social media reporting project which has seen reporter Ben Hammersley covering the Turkish elections for radio and television while also providing behind-the-scenes material on his personal blog, YouTube, Flickr, Twitter and del.icio.us.

The page links to Hammersley’s personal blog posts, but warns that “these links are not under BBC editorial control”. The site also pulls in links that Hammersley has saved on del.icio.us and photos that he has posted to Flickr.

In his most recent YouTube video, Hammersley summarises what he did on the busy third day of the project, showing the editing of a dynamic junction filmed for BBC World both as it appeared in the editing software on his laptop and as a finished product.

Update: Richard Sambrook explains more on the BBC editors’ blog.

Sambrook’s Wired interview with David Weinberger about the BBC’s changing approach to online news is also essential listening.
