What next for the BBC after the Bashir scandal?

from The Media Show Hosted by BBC Radio 4

The BBC is facing intense scrutiny. Last week’s Dyson Report revealed multiple lies and deception by Martin Bashir - to secure his famous interview with Diana, Princess of Wales in 1995. Now, questions are being asked about the BBC’s entire governance. So what could actually be done? Are we about to see fundamental change at the BBC? And will this scandal bring about a reckoning for the whole industry? Guests: Richard Tait, professor of journalism at Cardiff University and former editor of ITN; Dorothy Byrne, former Head of News and Current Affairs at Channel 4; David Yelland, former editor of The Sun and founder of Kitchen Table Partners; John Ware, investigative reporter; Jane Martinson, professor of journalism at City.
