BBC reporters and editors in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are holding on to their best stories at the expense of UK news programmes, the corporation's director-general said yesterday.
Mark Thompson was speaking in the wake of last week's BBC Trust report which concluded the organisation's news coverage was too London-centric and that it had failed to adapt to the realities of devolution.
A rather bizarre defence…I’ve just spent 5 minutes popping round the BBC N.Ireland, Scotland and Wales websites, there was no block put on which stories I could access- so I guess the BBC’s D.G. could try the very same thing if he wanted to discover what the local editors were reporting in their own region.
The real truth is that, well, this morning anyway, with the possible exception of Bush’s visit to Belfast, there’s really not that much of national interest to report.
