‘Not for the faint-hearted’: is running the BBC an impossible job?

The resignation of Tim Davie as director general of the BBC has sparked discussions about the increasing difficulties of managing the corporation. Senior editors at New Broadcasting House are now questioning if running the BBC is an impossible job, especially in light of internal strife and external pressures. This situation is exacerbated by the BBC's recent apology to Donald Trump regarding the editing of a Panorama documentary, which has led to further scrutiny of the organization's credibility. The ongoing challenges underscore the precarious balance the BBC must maintain in a rapidly changing media landscape.
