The BBC Academy’s College of Journalism has launched new websites in three Asian languages, Burmese, Pashto and Vietnamese.

The websites aim to provide a useful resource to journalists around the world in maintaining impartiality, truth and accuracy, independence, public interests, accountability and law impartiality while dealing with the nuance and detail of language.

The sites cover television, radio and online production; presentation, writing, and social media; and also aim to support journalists in the need to produce and present multiplatform programmes under the pressure of tight deadlines.

The sites’ language categories all have bespoke illustrations reflecting the specific culture and target audience.

Najiba Kasraee, the BBC College of Journalism editor for international websites said: “The aim of these sites is to put BBC Global News language services’ in-house style on record and, as part of BBC public purposes, to share the resource with journalists around the world.”

These latest language sites bring the number of College of Journalism re-launched sites to 11, including Arabic, Chinese in Simplified form, Chinese in Traditional form, Persian and Urdu for Pakistan.

In the last five years, the BBC College of Journalism has created 27 language sites in total, all of which are free to audiences around the world.
