The BBC’s proposed return to its core public service mission is a welcome ‘homecoming’ ...according to the Church of England’s response to the Director-General’s proposals for the future strategy of the corporation.

Noting that the term “public service” had increasingly been replaced in the BBC’s corporate language by the “rather more nebulous and management-speak version ‘public value,” the Church’s response welcomes the fact that the current proposals “keep that traditional (but nevertheless evolving) concept of public service mission firmly in mind”.

The response was issued by the Rt Revd Nigel McCulloch, Bishop of Manchester and the Church of England’s lead spokesman on communications.
