WTF is happening with the BBC?
from Hello You - the Shropshire podcast with Jim Hawkins · host Jim Hawkins
This morning I’m angry, sad and fearful for the future of this country and one of its great institutions.I’ve worked for the BBC for most of the last forty years. I’m bloody glad I don’t anymore, for a large number of reasons. The resignations last night of the Director-General and the head of BBC News should’ve come a long time ago, but not for the reason that forced them out. We’re seeing a concerted attack on public service media in the UK, in America and elsewhere around the world. There are dark clouds gathering, as the Public Media Alliance puts it.Please take a few minutes to watch this video, and share it with your friends?And if you want to support public service media in the smallest of ways, please subscribe to Hello You the Shropshire podcast: Hello You - the Shropshire podcast from Jim Hawkins is a reader-supported publication.
