    In this episode, we dive into the intriguing topic of how the BBC covers its own news, from internal controversies to its role as a global broadcaster. With a reputation for impartiality and credibility, the BBC often finds itself under scrutiny, especially when it is the subject of the story.

    • Does it apply the same editorial rigor to self-reporting as it does to external stories?
    • Are there instances where bias—whether conscious or unconscious—has shaped the narrative?
