A short(ish) thread about Bashir, #Panorama and the #DysonReport.
1. Bashir’s deception was shocking. There was no public interest in his forgery, it was a blatant breach of BBC guidelines and of basic journalistic ethics more generally.

2. Senior management’s response and subsequent cover up was even worse. It appears that BBC governors were not given details of the internal inquiry. See this excellent blog by @StewartPurvis for more detail on management failure: profpurvis.com
3. Once the BBC realised its errors, it announced an independent judge-led inquiry, whose report was made public. It has acknowledged its bad behaviour and apologised unreservedly for the distress caused to the Royal Family.
