·         BBC’s director-general, George Entwistle, resigns over news night mistake.

Summary

·         Entwistle (BBC’s director general) resigned after making a mistake of the allegations of the child abuse occurring in a care home in North Wales. At 9pm, patten (The trust chairman) said that it was ‘unacceptable shoddy’, but that Entwistle represented ‘courage’ as he stepped down from his Duties. On the 9^th of November, the BBC gave their sincere apologies at wrongly accusing Lord McAlphine. Whilst, the actual victim- Steve Messham actually identified that it wasn’t McAlphine but another man.

Enwistle stated: ‘In the light of the fact that the Director-General is also the Editor-in-Chief and ultimately responsible for all content; and in the light of the unacceptable journalistic standards of the Newsnight film broadcast on Friday 2nd November; I have decided that the honourable thing to do is to step down from the post of Director-General’.

My opinion: Personally I believe that the BBC had gotten their facts right before they made these accusations. To be honest, I believe Entwistle became so excited with this news and wanted to make a public outbreak within the first few days of his post, that he didn’t actually think through this predicament logically. However, I also do believe that he did the right thing about accepting he was wrong and stepping down from his post as it brings less of a negative representation of the BBC and to him.
