BBC boss claims impartial news is 'increasingly becoming an affront' to audiences who feel balanced coverage is 'an attack on their values'

A BBC boss has claimed impartial news that tells all sides of a story is 'increasingly becoming an affront' to audiences.

Deborah Turness, chief executive of news and current affairs, says those who spend time in an 'echo chamber' - where they only hear and read views that align with their own beliefs - feel balanced coverage is 'an attack on their values'.

Ms Turness, who joined the Corporation in September 2022, added that she is deeply concerned about this issue.

Speaking at the Sir Harry Evans Investigative Journalism Summit in London, she said: 'What worries me most is that what we're seeing - and we're seeing it through Israel and Gaza - is that we are at a stage now where subscription culture meets algorithm.

'You've got so many people spending so much of their time-consuming news which - because of algorithms or subscriptions they've chosen – is channelling [their] echo chamber. It's their point of view.

'But when they actually do come up for air and meet impartial news, they feel that it is an attack on their values. And that's what we've got to really worry about.'

Καλά, στην Ελλάδα υπήρχαν μπλε και πράσινα καφενεία τη δεκαετία του 80. Το φαινόμενο που περιγράφει δεν είναι ακριβώς καινούριο και δεν είναι τόσο θέμα ίντερνετ. Εμφανίζεται όπου υπάρχει έντονη πολιτική πόλωση. Στο ΗΒ, την πόλωση την έμαθαν λόγω μπρέξιτ. Από μια μελέτη του 19:

Overall, the available evidence suggests that the UK is seeing a fragmentation of political support, alongside so-called "affective polarisation" related to people's Brexit identities. This is when individuals begin to segregate themselves socially and to distrust and dislike people from the opposing side, irrespective of whether they disagree on matters of policy.
