Hello everyone This is your latest update from the BBC WAC Campaign. We have published our submission to the open consultation on the BBC Charter Review, which closes tomorrow. Thank you to the many signatories who helped in its drafting. You can read it here. It is a robust argument for WAC’s ‘new model’ to be reversed. It also serves as a detailed and fully referenced account of the engagement we have had with the BBC over the past year. For the vast majority of you this will be new information and we encourage you to read it in order to see quite how intransigent the Corporation has been when it comes to answering questions and taking on suggestions. This submission has been shared with the most senior members of BBC staff, including the Board of Governors, the Chair, the outgoing and interim Director-Generals, the Operations Committee that signed off the new policy, as well as the archives team who have devised and administered. Also in receipt of a copy are Parliamentarians, Ofcom and members of the press. Our recommendations are as follows:
The Observer wrote up a new piece on the campaign in light of FOI emails that were finally released to us by the BBC in January. This access was only granted after appeal. The story is paywalled but you can read a mirror of the online version here. For those of you on Bluesky, we go into a little more depth about the FOI findings in this thread. Please read and share. As ever, we are happy to hear from you if you need advice on using WAC during these challenging times. With best wishes Ian Greaves, Dr Kate Murphy and Professor John Wyver If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing list, you can do so here.
