BBC’s India News Operations Split in Two as Former Staffers Launch Collective Newsroom Following Foreign Media Rules


The BBC's news operations in India have been effectively divided from Wednesday with the launch of Collective Newsroom.

That leaves BBC India with 90 staffers who will produce news content across TV, radio and online and will report editorially to the corporation’s London headquarters. Jha said: “I’m thrilled that Collective Newsroom has officially launched with a clear, ambitious mission to create the most credible, creative and courageous journalism, and with a wealth of experience and talent in our incredible teams. Audiences will quickly come to know Collective Newsroom as an independent news organization that leads with the facts, works in the public interest and hears from diverse voices and perspectives.”
