Content Data

This page contains data entry 48852 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

What's with the increasing use of Americanised dates on the BBC News Channel of late? I'm consciously aware that we are watching a merged UK domestic/international channel nowadays, but those writing/editing the chyron/ ticker are based in London.

The community doesn’t allow images so I can’t post a screenshot, but the headline currently on screen is “UK election set to be called for July 4th”. July 4th? 4th July surely?

I’m seeing this daily now. I have also noticed that overnight (when the channel is anchored from the Washington DC bureau) American spellings creeping in (color instead of colour for instance), though this is presumably because the programme is also being produced and edited by people based in the United States.

It may seem like a small thing, but editorial standards matter and using Americanised dates on the BBC is just odd.
