Broadcasters says it is approaching social media company to explain that it is independent
The BBC has objected to being labelled as government-funded media on one of its main social media accounts. The broadcaster says it is speaking to the social media company about the designation on the BBC account.
The label links through to a page on Twitter’s help centre which says “state-affiliated media” are outlets where the government “exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution”.
