Tim Davie To Set Out “Future Direction Of The BBC” In All-Staff Speech Later This Month


The BBC's Tim Davie will set out "future direction" for the corporation in a speech later this month.

EXCLUSIVE: The “future direction of the BBC and its role for the UK” will be set out in an all-staff speech from Director General Tim Davie in a fortnight, at which point he will address “a new wave of technological change reshaping the media landscape.” “A new wave of technological change is reshaping the media landscape and bringing fresh challenges for us all: to our democracy; to our creative economy; and, to society,” said Davie’s note. Insiders speculated that more cuts or restructures may be coming, with one saying they anticipate more “digital first reshuffling,” although the speech will be broad, we understand, and look at the BBC’s role as a public broadcaster in the changing world.
