Is the BSA Still Doing Its Job and Fit for Purpose

Andrew Urquhart discusses the declining standards in media with Thomas Skrimger from the Maxim Institute. They explore the challenges faced by the Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) in adapting to the evolving media landscape, particularly with the rise of internet content. Skrimger highlights the difficulties in maintaining accountability and impartiality in journalism, especially during an election year.

They also consider the implications of potentially scrapping the BSA, suggesting that while it may be politically popular, it raises concerns about the future of media regulation and the protection of public decency standards.
