How’s BBC world handled this? I’ve flicked on a couple of times today and haven’t seen coverage of it.
I agree with Bashir. How could he be responsible for her death? I don’t think there is any correlation between the interview he had with Diana, of which she said - in her own words - “there were 3 of us in this marriage”. He didn’t make her say that. And especially, regarding her death - which was tragic and awful - how did he have any influence on the driver who was highly intoxicated and driving at excessive speeds? He had zero influence.
We need to move on from this story.

… unfortunately people who call themselves journalists have already “moved on” from the actual story - about how one of their number was grossly dishonest in getting an interview - and are now trying to change the story to one about Diana’s death in order to shift attention from this failure and cover-up of “journalism” … it would appear that, like so many other occasions where they have manipulated the agenda to suit themselves, they have been successful …

I think I was trying to make this point but it didn’t come out right. I think he took advantage of Diana but I was more asking on the lines if Diana knew that at the time . Sorry I confused everyone. He should be held account. I can think of another case where journalism was not at its finest but it had more to do with News of the World newspaper not BBC.
Panorama, Princess Diana, Martin Bashir and the BBC
… bearing in mind that this was obviously uploaded in breach of BBC copyright, if you’re interested in watching it (and if you’re interested in the honesty, or lack of it, of some people who call themselves journalists you should be) you’d better be quick …

This is not so much about BBC News/World News in general, but rather the BBC as a whole.
It appears the BBC blocks are set for a Reith makeover, the first update since October 1997.
BBC Reith is the name of their current organisation-wide typeface which debuted in 2019. Here’s an article from The TV Room:
The scope of the branding review goes well beyond the main BBC logo however. Channel and service brands are also being updated, including big hitters such as BBC News, BBC Sport and BBC One.

Personally, I can see the new BBC logo with the Reith typeface looking dated in a few years from now.
By contrast the 1997 logo still looks fine IMO.

What’s wrong with the 1997 for it to be replaced? The 1997 logo is timeless, this new logo looks so bad!

I think the new one looks nicer!

Didn’t think this was still happening in the era of standing presentation, glass sets and studio wide shots.
Used to hear stories about the talent wearing shorts behind the news desk on Australian news bulletins. It was a common sight at Ten’s North Ryde studios during hot summers in the days before air conditioning and Graham Kennedy was known to present Coast to Coast in his jocks.
I guess we know what Tom Gleaner will be asking us to pay attention to at the conclusion of HYBPA this week.

Wish BBC World News showed more of its domestic news coverage internationally. Breakfast. News at 10. Why don’t we see it in Australia?
Ie: CNN
Someone remind me of this post on Monday Night lmao

Not to mention BBC World News’ programs are catered to have advertisements in them.

BBC World News relaunches flagship programme Newsday with new look and a fresh outlook from Asia
Karishma Vaswani to take role as lead presenter
Newsday will be broadcast globally out of the Singapore bureau at 6am - 6.30am, HK/Singapore 7am - 7.30am HK/Singapore and 8am - 8.30am HK/Singapore Monday to Friday.
BBC World News today launched the refresh of global news programme ‘Newsday’ with Karishma Vaswani taking position as solo presenter from Singapore.
In the wake of a pandemic-changed world, BBC World News is updating the programme with a fresh, modern look and feel, providing global and local audiences with an unbiased look at the latest breaking news stories and analysis around the world.
The pandemic has highlighted the importance of accurate and impartial news. As audiences are turning more and more to news channels they can trust, Newsday will give them exactly that, whether it is the end or the beginning of their day. In its first hour, the programme will have a global outlook while also providing UK audiences with a roundup of the major events of the day. The focus on international news continues in the next two hours, including coverage of Asia for our regional and global audiences. Newsday will showcase the best of our reporting from correspondents in Asia around the world.
Karishma Vaswani has been at the BBC for 18 years, for the last 5 years as Asia Business Correspondent and will be bringing with her a wealth of experience and knowledge in upholding the unique, objective editorial standards of the BBC. Karishma will be responsible for daily live presentation of the Asia hours of Newsday and Asia Business Report on BBC World News. Along with the live presentation she also plays an active senior editorial role, under the guidance of Singapore bureau chief Maura Fogarty and in collaboration with teams in London and Singapore.
Karishma Vaswani says: “ For the last two decades I have reported for the BBC from all over Asia. The last year has really shown us all how important the BBC’s journalism is to the world. With unprecedented global events such as Covid 19 we can see audiences turning towards not only news that they trust but journalists who will report the news with a global analytic perspective, objectively and without opinion. This is something I have always strived to do and I am really looking forward to the opportunity to do it as lead presenter on this brand new Newsday.”
