The BBC is expected to announce hundreds of redundancies as staff brace themselves for heavy cuts to high-profile news programmes and an increasingly centralised system for producing the corporation’s journalism.
In an email to staff, Fran Unsworth, the head of news, said she would use an all-staff meeting on Wednesday to explain how the corporation plans to put into action the BBC News mission statement of being “distinctive, trusted, engaging everyone, every day”.
