-
TIM Davie has announced he will step down as director-general of the BBC.
It comes after concerns about impartiality at the corporation, including how a speech by US President Donald Trump was edited in an episode of Panorama, were raised this week.
Davie said his departure will not be immediate and that he is “working through” timings to ensure for an “orderly transition” over the coming months.
The BBC said Davie sent a statement to staff which said: “I wanted to let you know that I have decided to leave the BBC after 20 years.
“This is entirely my decision, and I remain very thankful to the chair and board for their unswerving and unanimous support throughout my entire tenure, including during recent days.
“I am working through exact timings with the board to allow for an orderly transition to a successor over the coming months.
