Defence budget funding 'would harm journalism of World Service'
The Guardian
|October 10, 2025
Using Britain’s defence budget to help fund the BBC World Service risks subordinating its journalism to the government's national security aims, its former director has said.
The Guardian revealed last week that senior BBC figures were pushing ministers to increase the World Service’s funding by using resources beyond the Foreign Office.
With China and Russia paying billions on overseas media to increase their influence, BBC executives are arguing the World Service now plays a critical role in countering misinformation and solidifying support for western values.
