While women outnumbered men in terms of presenters under 50, men significantly outnumbered women among the over-50s with 237 women to 394 men. It found there are nearly four times as many male presenters over 60 as female in the BBC's content division, which makes programmes. There were nearly twice as many older men than women 31 compared with 16 in BBC News. Within the nations and the English regions division, there were between three and four times as many older men as female presenters.

I have quite a lot of pressure to remove the BBC from X, he said. By the way, that is not what I'll be doing because we need to be on these platforms. We need to give quality information on to these social media platforms, bring people in. I actually think that's critical, because otherwise the Chinese, the Iranians they're flooding the zone. They're investing very hard. We are in a position where the majority of 16 to 34s come to BBC every week we're still fighting that battle.

The memo, which raised concerns about BBC's impartiality, drew swift condemnation from the White House. A lawyer for Trump sent a letter to BBC threatening a $1 billion defamation suit unless the British broadcaster issued a retraction, an apology and compensation. A few days later, BBC formally apologized to President Trump, but did not indicate that it would compensate the president, as he had demanded.

When The Daily Telegraph published a leaked internal dossier alleging systemic left-wing bias at the BBC, few could have predicted the scale of the crisis about to engulf the UK's flagship public broadcaster. In the two weeks since the memo appeared, director-general Tim Davie and BBC News CEO Deborah Turness have resigned, and none other than Donald Trump has homed in on the British broadcaster as the latest target in his personal war on the press.

For years, he has used lawsuits to intimidate major newspapers and broadcasters, in the process getting major outlets such as and to repeatedly bend the knee. Under his watch, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has reportedly pushed broadcasters to fire personalities, such as Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, whom he disapproves of and has threatened to withhold broadcast licenses and to stymie lucrative mergers should those broadcasters not fall into line.

The sudden departure of the BBC's director general and head of news marks a moment of real consequence for British public service broadcasting. Tim Davie and Deborah Turness's resignations followed controversy over an inaccurately edited clip in a BBC Panorama documentary about Donald Trump. Opponents of the BBC seized on this as further evidence of widespread bias at the broadcaster. It has now become a flashpoint in the wider political and cultural battles surrounding the corporation.
