Title: A People's BBC must learn to love the licence fee payers and embrace a culture of openness
Authors: Andrew Griffith MP
Source: Sunday Telegraph (London). 05/23/2021, p5-5. 1.
Abstract: There will always be those who sin against their profession - broadcasting is no exception. But for every Bashir or Savile, there is a woman or man of courage willing to speak up for what is right. The BBC's failure in the case of Panorama was to denigrate rather than to listen to that voice in Matt Wiessler. It was a failure of culture and as they contemplate the future, BBC veterans know that culture is the hardest thing to change. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
