Synopsis

The BBC is a central part of British life, shared culture and international standing. It is the British public's most important and trusted news provider in a world of global fake news; a hugely popular, low-cost source of universally available information, education and entertainment; and the crown jewel of the UK's global reputation.

But the BBC is in peril as never before. It faces ever-increasing competition and threats from new technology and consumption trends. It suffers relentless attacks from a range of hostile players motivated by their own political and commercial interests. And it faces deep funding cuts. These pressures may even destroy it within a generation.

This book is a powerful wake-up call to halt the destruction of one of our greatest assets, built up over almost a century, before it's too late.
