The green paper on the BBC Charter Review is up for public consultation, and in this Religion Media Centre briefing, faith leaders and media commentators discuss how religious broadcasting will develop in a time of technological and societal change.
Religion has always been embedded in the BBC public service settlement, but in the new media landscape of algorithms and global competition, will there be a demand for such programmes? And how will the BBC’s challenges of trust, funding, competition and public service to the nation, impact religious programming?
Our host was Torin Douglas, former BBC media correspondent, and our guests included: Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York; Anna McNamee, Executive Director, Sandford St Martin’s Trust; Alison Green, Head of Digital at CTVC; Bishop John Arnold, Catholic Bishops’ Conference; and Roger Bolton, broadcaster.
