New BBC social media guidelines published, inc:
- Ban on 'virtue signalling... no matter how apparently worthy the cause'
- Journalists must use all personal accounts as if they are BBC output
- No more breaking stories on personal accounts
- No criticising colleagues
The newspaper industry is in massive trouble. Ad spend has plummeted and many journalists are being ‘furloughed’ or just fired. Reporting is vital in our society - arguably now more than ever. If you’re passing a shop on your walk today, please #buyapaper
Dropped Maggie at uni in Bristol today. From her new room you can see the room at Bristol Children's Hospital where, 17 years earlier, she spent 6 months fighting for her life against leukaemia.
Tears of joy.
Thank you NHS.
