BBC releases 79 online news reports from archives
Quote:
BBC News Interactive has this month released nearly 80 online news reports from the archives.
The bulletins cover some iconic events of the past 50 years including the fall of the Berlin Wall, crowds ejecting soldiers from Beijing's Tiananmen Square and behind-the-scenes footage of the England team prior to their World Cup victory in 1966.
They are offered as The Open News Archive, part of a new kind of BBC service - in pilot stage - which is not just about enjoying BBC output but allowing the UK public to use it to create content of their own.
The clips have been made freely available under the terms of the recently-launched Creative Archive Licence.
