August 2020: Sources tell the Sunday Times that new BBC DG Tim Davie is considering making key BBC talent, particularly in News, declare 'second job' earnings, from speaking engagements and the like.
October 2020: Tim Davie is to order BBC presenters to declare other earnings on a public database, according to most papers
New Year's Eve 2020: The Sun: BBC presenters like Naga Munchetty who make money outside the corporation will have to declare it from today. The Beeb says on-air talent as well as senior leaders have to tell an external engagements register that they are taking part in the likes of advertisements, public speaking, appearances or writing commitments.
Email to BBC News staff 23 April, from Fran Unsworth: Next week will also see the publication of the BBC’s first external engagements register, listing publicly the paid external engagements of our senior leaders and journalists. This is an important part of renewing our commitment to impartiality and being transparent about our activities.
Did I blink ?
