Integration in the news business is happening, and that's not in and of itself a bad thing. But as I said in the post, integration requires integrated thinking, bringing together the excellent audio, video and online/interactive experience at the BBC. Unfortunately, due to the internal politics at the place, this thinking doesn't exist. It's a bunch of heavily silo-ed fiefdoms that are at war with each other. Powerful middle managers and editors actually will prevent intelligent integration and instead continue the in-fighting and inefficiencies.
