The BBC can help tackle a “crisis of trust” in UK society, the broadcaster’s director general is expected say in a speech later.
Tim Davie will outline measures aimed at reversing the breakdown of trust in information and institutions, while addressing societal division and disconnection. These initiatives include expanding the BBC Verify fact-checking service, enhancing efforts against disinformation, and improving local journalism. Davie is anticipated to affirm the BBC’s commitment to shaping the future rather than defending its past.
