“Asymmetric” Nature Of Israel-Hamas War Makes Impartial Coverage Difficult, Says Senior BBC News Exec


BBC News' Deborah Turness and Jonathan Munro discussed Israel-Hamas War and working class audiences.

Turness, who spent 10 years in the U.S. with NBC News, said she would “like to raise awareness of the amount of care and attention that is given to impartiality through all our journalism.” “We can be a life raft in a sea of chaos and disinformation,” she added. “We work really hard to try and ensure we are addressing those audiences,” added Munro, who flagged recent news shows that covered issues in northern English towns and cities such as Doncaster, Carlisle and Rochdale. Having recently conducted in-depth audience surveys, Turness said BBC viewers are saying they want “clarity in a world of chaos, uncovering the truth and seeking out wrongdoing, and fairness and respect.”
