said on Wednesday that it will “need to find £285 million in annual savings by 2027/28, requiring a reduction in the content and services we provide to audiences,” as a result of a new license fee settlement with the British government.
In its annual plan, it also set out a target of 25 percent of staff being “from lower socio-economic backgrounds” by 2027 to “ensure our workforce is more representative of the audiences we serve.” It explained: “This will make us one of the first media organizations in the UK to set a target for socioeconomic diversity.”
The annual plan explained: “Over the last 18 months, we have also begun a substantial program of work to reform the BBC, ensuring we are a modern, effective and lean organization. Delivering value to all audiences is only possible if the BBC reflects the extraordinary diversity of the lives, backgrounds and experiences of the whole U.K. public.
