Today I joined staff from the BBC who contributed £5 each to pay for a full page advert in The Daily Telegraph. It was initiated by people in Factual & Learning but soon spread through the organisation through the "Making it happen" network set up by Greg. The names of those who had signed up to the advert were printed in tiny print until the page was full. The text we signed up to said: The following statement is from BBC employees, presenters, reporters and contributors. It was paid for by them personally, not by the BBC itself Greg Dyke stood for brave, independent and rigorous BBC journalism that was fearless in its search for the truth. We are resolute that the BBC should not step back from its determination to investigate the facts in pursuit of truth. Through his passion and integrity Greg inspired us to make programmes of the highest quality and creativity. We are dismayed by Greg's departure but we are determined to maintain his achievements and his vision for an independent organisation that serves the public above all else. |
