Description

The BBC Myth of a Public Service by Tom Mills The BBC is a complex and multifaceted institution, often misunderstood by the public. Despite its claim to be independent and impartial, the BBC has a history of aligning itself with those in power. This has been evident throughout its existence, from its stance during the 1926 General Strike to its handling of protests in 1984 and 2003. The BBC's relationship with the Establishment has been scrutinised by the secret services, and its independence has been eroded over the years. The Corporation's integration into the market since the 1990s has further compromised its ability to present an unbiased view. This book provides a timely examination of a crucial public institution that is constantly under threat. Tom Mills' analysis sheds light on the BBC's role in shaping public discourse and its impact on British society.
