BBC Chair Vows to Tackle ‘Unacceptable Behavior’ at the Network Following Huw Edwards Scandal: ‘There’s a Sense Powerful People “Get Away With It”’
BBC chair Samir Shah has vowed to tackle ‘unacceptable behavior’ at the broadcaster following the Huw Edwards scandal.
The BBC has also been tainted by other #MeToo-style scandals over the years allegedly perpetrated by some of its talent including Jimmy Savile, Russell Brand, Rolf Harris and DJ Tim Westwood. “Now more than ever, in this deeply polarising story, we need to double down on the defining qualities of impartial journalism: accuracy, seeking truth and the importance of hearing all sides of opinion, with respect and courtesy,” he said. Shah said he plans to work with his colleagues at other public service broadcasters to implement regulations such as prominence for the PSBs on smart TVs as well as lobby the government to “loosen the reins on our commercial activities.”
