IT is one of the odd contradictions of modern media that the problem tends to generate much more heat than the solution – unless, of course, it’s a bottle return scheme in Scotland.
Set against that was a very different public dynamic – that Lineker was a hugely well-paid presenter and should be less vocal about sensitive issues from a privileged platform provided by the BBC. Why, for example, should a camera operator who is paid to work on a Wednesday be restricted on what they say on a Friday when they might be being paid by another broadcaster or, just as likely, sitting at home unemployed?
TV executives would argue that these are examples of personal perspective films but they are also a reminder that audiences are capable of distinguishing between a journalist with a viewpoint and a news presenter behind a studio desk. HARDIE’S report went further and identified a list of so-called “flagship” shows, where huge audiences experience a programme and “know” the presenters as faces of the BBC.
This was both permission and a veiled critique of Lineker’s original tweet which was unequivocally aimed at Suella Braverman and her extreme views on immigration.Well, one screechingly obvious point is that despite years of initiatives aimed at strengthening production in the nations and regions, none of the BBC’s flagship shows are produced in Scotland.
