As external critics worry about deterioration of news values, the BBC's interim Director of News and Current Affairs, Jonathan Munro, has doubled down on the 'mega global scoop' of a tennis player repeating his position that he doesn't trust vaccinations against Covid-19, and won't have one. This is the top line of Mr Munro's latest message to staff.
"Perhaps the highest profile BBC story was the Amol Rajan interview with Novak Djokovic. In various formats, it was viewed online 6.2 million times with the main interview article on the News site responsible for the majority. The interview ran in longer form on BBC1 reaching a further 1.4 million (that doesn’t include people watching via the iPlayer), was also a podcast on Sounds, and was broadcast on World Service Radio. The rollout from 0600 was a textbook example of formatting our journalism across all platforms, and the medical scrutiny on his views, carried on air and online, was an important part of our public purpose delivery."
