I still find it bizarre the BBC News website and app haven’t been updated to use Reith. I wonder if it’s in the works at all or if it’s just been delayed for some reason.

There’s a brand new version of the app coming this year. It’ll be in that along with a complete redesign.
Sadly, things aren’t as easy as just changing a style sheet!

Can we put an end to this sort of chat right now please? You don't just reskin a website with a new font.
Looks like you've misinterpreted me. I'm not expecting them to "reskin" anything, nor am I saying any update is simple, especially on such a huge website. Obviously it's a monumental undertaking, just like the national and regional graphics package updates were.
I think we're all expecting an updated design for online at some point (that
obviously
extends beyond simply a font change). Just would have thought the website and app would have been updated by now, 8 months on from the on-screen rebrand.

I saw the image and thought "I know who'll like this" only you already posted it...
I imagine with current world events, BBC News have a lot more important things to do than think about changing a font.
This is of course true now in March 2020, but it’s still a bit odd there wasn’t even a mention of the website and app brand alignment at any point since July‘s TV rebrand last year.
