World News in One Minute: Video News Bulletins From bbcrussian.com

In an innovative move for the Russian online and mobile news scene, the BBC Russian website, bbcrussian.com, has launched video news bulletins.

A new way to reach Russian-speaking audiences, the video bulletins are delivered in a format that works well on mobile phones and are available via the bbcrussian.com mobile site, m.bbcrussian.com.

The BBC Russian daily online video news bulletin is issued at 14.00 GMT (17.00 Moscow time) Monday to Friday, when the traffic to bbcrussian.com reaches its peak.

The 60-second bulletins bring the Russian-speaking online audiences the global news agenda, with headline reporting on the essential news stories of the day from the BBC's newsgathering network across the world. 

Head of BBC Russian, Sarah Gibson, comments: "We know that our audiences want immediate access to concise news, and our video news bulletins deliver just that. We are delighted to be in the forefront, bringing this new product to the Russian-language online news market.

"As our traffic already shows, the bulletins are quickly gaining popularity with our audiences who want news on the go, and we hope that catching up with world news by watching our bulletins on mobile phones soon becomes part of the daily routine for Russian-speaking news consumers."
