The BBC’s pledge to ‘improve its rural affairs coverage’ has been welcomed by the BASC. The BBC will appoint a senior editor, with responsibility for rural affairs, to identify three correspondents from regional and local newsrooms to provide more material for national news and broaden the range of contacts used in the reporting of rural affairs. BASC’s CEO Richard Ali said: “Agenda-setting news desks in London need to see further and reach out to properly reflect rural life.”
