Here's a bold move - Ofcom Content and Media Policy Group Director (and Board Member) Kevin Bakhurst is joining a Media Society Zoom debate this Wednesday evening on the topic "GB News - how's it doing and what impact will it have ?".
This is what Kev wrote in January.
"Our rules allow broadcast news channels to explore issues from their own viewpoint as long as they comply with some key principles: news presenters and reporters must not give their own views on politically controversial matters (and news channels must report the facts with due accuracy); whereas in non-news programmes, presenters and reporters can express their own opinions. However, in all programming, these channels must reflect alternative viewpoints. How they do it is up to them."
Will Kev opine on whether or not Dan Wootton counts as a 'news presenter' ? Alexandra Phillips ?
In the GB News corner on the panel will be Alastair Stewart OBE.
