Two weeks to Matt Brittin's formal arrival as BBC Director General, and one presumes his team are preparing his launch statements. There is room for a few 'getting to know the issues' and 'listening to staff' platitudes, but something bolder about challenging the odd presumption of the old regime would be helpful.
Why not try "Sixty hacks on Verify is nice, but is it really of more value than a strong BBC News UK channel, as we cede ground to GB News ?"; or, "I think we've done enough 'pivoting' from BBC local radio to local online - let's grow both"; or, "Pleased to find a strong Product Team in place, but in general, we're going to let the wider media market lead on software"; or "Our linear channels will be the showcase for all our output, and must stop over-serving the over 60s"; or "We need to show that moving science correspondents to Glasgow, business correspondents to Salford, etc has improved our content in some way more than telling a PR story".
