“For each breaking story, a “story owner” is assigned. It is this person’s job to plan, commission and monitor each story across all platforms.

Roussel said his vision of a successful website is one which has it all. He displayed an ideal schedule for how the Telegraph would successfully handle breaking news:

• 11:15: Send out alerts via SMS/e-mail/desktop widgets
• 11:25: Have 150 words online, begin soliciting readers’ help
• 12:15: Update story, add images and audio
• 13:15: Add analysis, topic page
• 15:15: Have multiple angles, analysis, opinion (from readers), multi-media (picture galleries, video, graphics)

“In four hours you want to feel you’ve covered multiple angles of the story,” Roussel said.”
