BBC Chair Vows to Tackle ‘Unacceptable Behavior’ After Huw Edwards

BBC Chair Vows to Tackle ‘Unacceptable Behavior’ After Huw Edwards
SHARE

BBC chair Samir Shah has made a strong commitment to address the issue of “unacceptable behavior” at the broadcaster in the wake of the Huw Edwards scandal.

Edwards, a former high-profile news anchor at the BBC, faced controversy last year when he took medical leave after being implicated in a scandal involving alleged payment for photographs from a teenager. More recently, he was convicted of making indecent images of children in a separate incident, narrowly avoiding a prison sentence.

The BBC has faced a number of scandals over the years, including #MeToo-style allegations against some of its talent such as Jimmy Savile, Russell Brand, Rolf Harris, and DJ Tim Westwood.

In a speech at the Leeds Conservatoire on the future of U.K. public service broadcasting, Shah acknowledged the concerns surrounding the BBC’s conduct. While not naming Edwards directly, he emphasized the need to take action against abuses of power within the organization.

Shah mentioned the ongoing Workplace Culture Review as a step towards addressing these issues and ensuring a more transparent and accountable environment at the BBC. He also highlighted the importance of journalistic impartiality, especially in sensitive topics like the Middle East conflict.

The BBC recently announced an external review into its workplace culture, showing a commitment to addressing these issues.

Shah also emphasized the significance of local content in the age of global streaming services, pointing out the need to prioritize local stories alongside international content. He expressed his intention to collaborate with other public service broadcasters to advocate for regulations that promote local content and ensure their visibility on various platforms.

The BBC, funded by the U.K. public through a mandatory license fee, plays a crucial role in providing quality programming to its audience. Shah’s dedication to improving the broadcaster’s practices and upholding journalistic integrity reflects a commitment to serving the public interest.
