BBC DG Tim Davie tells us that "placing local and nations news at the heart of the BBC News app" is "already driving impressive growth."
Does he know how much of this growth is the Dashcam Drive, an occasionally ghoulish selection of current crashes, one leading to death ? For the second day running, journalists identified simply as 'England' have a video in the Top 5 Most Watched - "Police chase in Earsham crop field ends in fatal crash".
If you wait a matter of seconds, four more pieces of police film of crashes follow automatically.
Up Next. Motorcyclist falls from bridge after car collision (Beds, Herts & Bucks)

Is this really 'journalism of the very highest standards' ?
