BBC board member quits over governance issues' at broadcaster
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it."
"He said in a letter that he was "not consulted" about the events leading up to the resignations of the director general, Tim Davie, and BBC News chief executive, Deborah Turness. A BBC spokesperson said: "Shumeet Banerji today notified the BBC Board of his resignation. Mr Banerji's term on the Board as a non-executive director was due to end at the end of December and we thank him for his service.""
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism across issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and avoids paywalls to make reporting accessible to all. The outlet investigates topics such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' focusing on American women fighting for reproductive rights. Shumeet Banerji resigned from the BBC Board, citing governance concerns and saying he was "not consulted" about events leading to the resignations of director general Tim Davie and BBC News chief executive Deborah Turness. Banerji joined the Board in 2022 and his term was due to end in December. The BBC thanked him and said a replacement search is under way.
