Paul Mason, former BBC Newsnight and Channel 4 economics editor discusses economic coverage and impartiality
from Roger Bolton's Beeb Watch
As part of its impartiality plan, this week the BBC published its report looking at the broadcaster's coverage of taxation, public spending, governmentborrowing and debt. The authors found no evidence of bias towards one particular political position, but there were things "that put impartiality at risk". Paul Mason discusses the report's findings and reflects on his own experiences working at the BBC and Channel 4."Newsnight had famously missed the AOL /Time Warner merger, the biggest merger in history - didn't think it was a story."Support the podcast by subscribing here.Find all our podcasts here Hosted on Acast.
