BBC News 24 is experimenting with a real-timer editor's blog live from the studio gallery.

The experimental blog, which started this morning, will attempt to capture the quick fire editorial decisions made at the channel and respond to viewers queries about what they have just seen on the breaking news service.

"If it works, it might give you a fly-on-the-wall insight into how a continuous news channel operates: how and why we reach our decisions on editorial and production issues; the last-minute changes in running orders; which stories merit ditching all other news to 'roll'; how we react when things don't go entirely according to plan (which, since you ask, is rather more often than is good for one's health)," wrote News 24 morning editor Simon Waldman.

Sample of the first offerings from the start of the live blog:

10:05 - There's an interesting debate going on... BBC news and BBC programmes don't always point in the same direction. Today, there's some disquiet in parts of the BBC about using the pics from the Queen programme at this point - but news is using them.

10:07 - The story about delaying inquests for UK troops killed abroad is powerful in so many respects. It's a political story - but it's also very personal. And the man we talking to now, whose son was killed in Iraq, and had to wait three years for the inquest, illustrates that.

10:09 - Our defence correspondent Paul Wood has just nipped into the gallery to suggest a slight change to our script on this story, to make it clearer.
