Roger Mosey, former BBC editorial director on BBC Israel-Gaza war coverage and use of the word 'terrorist'

from Roger Bolton's Beeb Watch

Roger Mosey was head of BBC TV News and is a former editor of the Today programme. We discuss the BBC's reluctance to use the term "terrorist" and the BBC's coverage of the Israel-Gaza war.“You have to recognise that you can't be morally neutral, you can't think that everything is a 50 50 call. So it's tough doing it. I think this is about the most difficult thing the BBC has to cover, after many years, decades of difficulty in covering Ireland.”Support the podcast by signing up to Patreon hereFind all our podcasts here Twitter: @BeebRogerMastodon: @[email protected]: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
