BBC News Tracks Container Box Around the World
During a recent meeting, I was told that BBC News are following a container around world for a year to tell stories of globalisation and the world economy. The box is an ambitious and unique year-long project for BBC News to tell the story of international trade and globalisation by tracking a standard shipping container around the world. It is a project which plans to deliver content for television, radio and online audiences - telling the individual stories behind what makes the global economy tick.
The Box has already carried Whisky from Scotland to Shanghai China, Ningbo to Los Angeles with goods for a chain of homeware stores and is currently in Brazil.
