In this episode, we dive into the intriguing topic of how the BBC covers its own news, from internal controversies to its role as a global broadcaster. With a reputation for impartiality and credibility, the BBC often finds itself under scrutiny, especially when it is the subject of the story.

We’ll explore key questions:

• How transparent is the BBC when reporting on its own decisions, scandals, or criticisms?
• Does it apply the same editorial rigor to self-reporting as it does to external stories?
• Are there instances where bias—whether conscious or unconscious—has shaped the narrative?

On this episode, Bill, Nick, and Rob, discuss the current state of local newspapers (and media in general) and ask the big question, does anyone still care about them, and can they survive?
