The aim of this review is to understand how well the BBC is adapting to meet that challenge.Īs well as speaking to audiences, we will engage with industry and other interest parties throughout the period of our review. The challenge the BBC faces is to remain a relevant and trusted source of news, which delivers high quality content for all audiences. In this climate, the role of the BBC as an impartial provider of news and current affairs across all its platforms is just as important as ever. The traditional mix of television and radio bulletins, giving audiences an authoritative daily summary of major events, has been replaced for many people by a far more complex news environment. The way we consume and engage with news is changing. We are conducting a review of the BBC’s news and current affairs output across television, radio and online.

To help inform our work, we also met with stakeholders across the UK, including broadcasters, newspaper groups, media journalists, professional bodies and academics. We commissioned research to give us a detailed insight into how people get their news, and we looked at the range and depth the BBC offers compared to other news providers.Īs part of our extensive research programme, we asked people in detail about their news habits, what matters to them about the news and current affairs they watch, listen to and read, as well as the role that BBC news and current affairs play in their lives. Over the spring and summer, we gathered views from people across the United Kingdom. In March, we launched an in-depth review of BBC news and current affairs, putting audiences at the heart of our research. Providing high-quality, trusted news and current affairs is central to the BBC’s remit.Īt a time of highly political and polarised debate, the need for accurate, trustworthy and robust journalism is as important as it has ever been.
