Interesting report in The Times [paywall] about the BBC News recruitment process,  rewritten by Daily Mail.

Not sure how much the Mail goes into it, but here's a quote from the Times.

One of the presenters who went through the process said it had been “sham”. The presenter added that BBC management “go on at length about BBC values such as truth, accuracy, impartiality and transparency but were behind a fig-leaf selection process that was predetermined months before anyone did a job interview”.

It appears that the Times has got at least three of the 15 presenters who applied to talk to them. Getting that many of a small group of high profile people to speak against their employer is quite the coup imo. There must be some real acrimony.
