Impact

Has anyone in BBC News senior management written down how moving Newsbeat to Birmingham will make it better for listeners ?

The BBC Director General has just told hundreds of staff their jobs are being moved to different cities, but it's OK because he then showed us a trailer for the new Line of Duty series "after a long two years" 🙃

Understatement to say it’s been a tough & unsettling week for the whole @BBCNewsbeat team. We’ve all got big decisions to make about our futures.

But one thing never in question is our passion for the job. You couldn’t ask for better workmates. Deserves a cheesy gif: pic.twitter.com/iCUG1jhGWX

Our @BBCNewsbeat team are talented, creative and genuinely care about young people. We make cracking radio, docs, tv, podcasts, digital, social - the list goes on. There’s simply not an equivalent job. Uprooting to Birmingham won’t work for the majority of us. Tough to digest.

It’s a day for going down the pub with my brilliant @bbcnewsbeat colleagues. I really want to be down the pub.
