Two of the largest and most powerful news organisations in the country are to form a 'strategic partnership' that could change the face of the British media industry.
The Telegraph Group and ITN are close to announcing a groundbreaking partnership that will see them co-operate to create new products that both groups can use, including television programmes starring big-name journalists who work at the Telegraph titles.

The two companies will work together to create content for the Telegraph's revamped website, which will be unveiled within weeks. But that is likely to be the first step towards a wider alliance that will see the two groups co-operating closely over the coming years. Executives at the Telegraph believe its roster of well-known journalists, including Simon Heffer and Boris Johnson, are an underused asset.

They want all reporters to write for the website as well as the papers and appear regularly on television or radio bulletins posted on the group's internet site.

Interesting, given that Daily Mail and General Trust own 20% of ITN.

I hope this doesn't start to affect ITN's political impartiality. I hope ITN doesn't start showing subtle right-wing bias, in the same way BBC (reputedly) shows left-wing bias Pale Confused

This is about ITN doing multimedia stuff for the Telegraph website. Nothing to do with the ITV News service.

If you read carefully, everything beyond ITN being contracted to provide a new website for the Telegraph, is speculation. Worth bearing in mind.

Don't be silly, this *obviously* means that ITV News will relaunch with a right wing agenda, a new name and Boris Johnson presenting.
