The corp's committee responsible for those editorial guidelines stopped short of revising them, but their head of editorial complaints and reviews "acknowledged that lessons were not acted on quickly or decisively enough across the organization"... a separate review by the full BBC board calls for further changes, apparently including in personnel, to the committee: https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/bbc-review-no-rewrite-editing-guidelines-trump-1236612551/ (link) B
PGage, to moi, Nov 10th: In case it wasn’t clear, I was being sarcastic, I don’t think the BBC or CBS or the Washington Post or any other news outlet that wants to be taken seriously should be taking dictation from the White House. I’m not convinced that the BBC situation really was a journalistic error just as I strongly believe that the 60 Minutes incident with Donald Trump was not a journalistic error. If professional journalist at the BBC decide that it was a mistake then they should do what credible news outlets do and have always done, which is not the error, Apologize for it correct it and move on. Professionalism is not about not making mistakes after all about being transparent and acknowledging mistakes and learning from them. But that whole discussion is such absurd bullshit in the context of an administration that makes a feature out of constantly turning out, clearly dishonest, false narratives at a staggering clip, and then, pretending their high standards are offended so much that the culprit must be immediately fired only when the incident is Related to something that they don’t like or disagree with. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
