The Telegraph says Lord (Tony) Hall is going on tour, before taking decisive action at the BBC.
A source close to the new director-general said: “He is very interested to hear the views of the public, about how they feel the BBC is working. It may be through talking to people, it may be in the emails he receives. Pretty much every conversation he has is going to be about the BBC. He is not coming in with a pre-formed vision. He wants us to have a sense of where the BBC should be in ten years time - is technology the central question, or is creativity the central question, or is it news?”
A tour is a tradition for a new DG, and the listening is symbolic.
