The key role being played by churches and the faith communities in society in England has gone unrecognised by the British government’s White Paper on the BBC’s Royal Charter, the Church of England has declared.
The Church of England has expressed its discontent with the recognition given to the churches’ work by the government in its report, and in response it has made a submission to the government’s final consultation on the BBC Charter Review.
In its submission, the Church warns that “high quality” could become just an option for new programme’s by the BBC if the new Charter is followed.
