Simple controls - fast access
The story list view is newest first and has small icons to show the number of different assets contained in each story. Some of our stories are updated throughout the day so you might notice that number of assets increase. If we file a significant update to a story we will move it to the back top of the story grid.
You can search the headline and strapline in the box on the top right of the page, you can further narrow down your search results with the options on the left. When you click on a story you can read the full copy and preview the video fullscreen. If you decide you want the content you can download the assets together as a zip or individually using the small cloud icons.
