Come on BBC you have the power to be great into the next decade
The BBC seems to be pulling itself in so many directions at the moment. One hand is cutting cost by moving everybody to editing on final cut pro and using digi beta cameras whilst trying to get rid of huge swathes of staff.
The other half is staying in the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky for The News Xchange 2005 and blowing 40 k.
In reality fat cats will be fat cats and this is just a red herring, the BBC needs to radically innovate to survive.
Once the license fee has been renewed perhaps they will calm down a little, I hope not ,they are in a position to lead the world. The reality of moving to lower quality footage means that they will be perfectly placed to take advantage of a global network of consumers generating content.
They need to excel at being a filter and interpreter of this content tobecome THE global destination for impartial excellent news content .
