BBC Chair Says ‘Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone’ Saga Is “Dagger To The Heart” Of Impartiality
The BBC's 'Gaza How To Survive a Warzone' doc has been addressed by Chair Samir Shah and DG Tim Davie, who called for a Middle East coverage review.
Shah, who is understood to have been left extremely frustrated by the situation that has played out over the past 10 days, did not hold back this morning when speaking to the Culture, Media & Sport Committee (CMSC) about the immense damage caused to the 100-year-old pubcaster by the under-fire doc. CMS chair Caroline Dinenage had kicked off the meeting by saying to Davie and Shah: “You must be as frustrated as us to have to talk about the latest scandal” in reference to the Gaza doc. Before this saga erupted, Davie and Shah were supposed to be addressing the committee on more long-term, holistic issues such as future funding models and BBC independence.
