The Assessor's Back

High-fives and heel-kicking all round at Ofcom this morning, with the Frances Cairncross Review allowing Witchfinder-General Kevin Bakhurst free rein to expound at length on the failings of his old employer. Bet he can't wait....




"Although the Review was not asked to comment
on the BBC, it recommends that Ofcom should
assess whether BBC News Online is striking the
right balance between aiming for the widest reach
for its own content on the one hand, and driving
traffic from its online site to commercial publishers
(particularly local ones) on the other. The BBC
should do more to share its technical and digital
expertise for the benefit of local publishers."
