Means of production

Newcomers to BBC News often think THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH STUFF. It's clearly on the mind of CEO Deborah Turness, who has acceded to a 'pan-BBC review' of all BBC factual content on tv and iPlayer, radio and Sounds. It's due to report in June, and thus well-timed to produce cuts in 2025/26. 

Jo Carr who runs Current Affairs in News will be part of the review team. So Debs has decided that Richard Burgess, Director of News Content will run her department - becoming commissioner and producer at the same time, a Soviet solution that will alarm the few free-thinkers left at Broadcasting House.
