Dressing room news

Most BBC journalists work either for News and Current Affairs (total staff at March 2022: 2,840) or  Nations (total staff: 5,291). 

Nonetheless the NUJ got an impressive 1,000+ member responses to its survey of BBC hacks about the future of Chairman Sharp - a bigger number than many opinion polls. 

95% said Sharp should immediately resign from the BBC; just four per cent said he retains their faith to continue as Chair. 97% said revelations over Sharp’s actions and behaviour at the time of his appointment and since have caused damage to the BBC’s reputation; and 91% said the scandal served to undermine trust in BBC journalism.
