The BBC is one of the most important institutions in Britain; it is also one of the most misunderstood. In this urgent report on the institution, Tom Mills shows that despite its claim to be independent and impartial, and despite widespread claims of left-wing bias, the BBC has always sided with the elite. Now, with the Conservative Government calling into question the future of the licence fee, and digital platforms rapidly transforming the sector, has ‘Auntie’ come to the end of the road? Mills argues that on the contrary we urgently need public digital media and a radically transformed BBC.
