Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The BBC is the heart of the UK’s media system. Yet despite the BBC being publicly funded, the public have no control over how it works.</p><p>Politicians have too much power to pressure the BBC, and it is struggling to compete against global streaming services and social media companies. Without radical reform, the BBC faces a bleak future of dwindling audiences and the loss of public trust.</p><p>By the end of 2027 the government is required to renew the BBC’s Royal Charter, which will set the terms of how the BBC operates for the next decade. The Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy, has said she supports mutualising the BBC, with new structures for “genuine public representation and participation”.</p><p>This briefing explains how to transform the BBC into a new kind of institution: a public service mutual.
