Morale

A thoughtful piece by Rosamund Urwin in the Sunday Times on departures from the BBC (paywalled)

Some quotes: A BBC presenter “News has been hollowed out. It’s constant blood-letting. The old faces are disappearing, and the reporting teams are thinning out. "

News channel source: “We expect to be screwed over, because the bosses think that they can sell foreign news overseas to hotel groups and golf clubs, whereas the news channel is more domestic. And [interim director of news and current affairs] Jonathan Munro has not hidden his dislike of the channel.”

Former BBC presenter “I think it will become a Harvard Business Review case study in how not to do a restructuring". 

Deborah Turness has some serious work to do when she finally arrives.
