BBC NEWS HEADLINES FOR TODAY TV
“Our aim is to create the best live and breaking video news service in the world – on our webpages, our apps, on BBC iPlayer and on our new TV news channel.” “The way audiences consume news is changing,” said Naja Nielsen, digital director at BBC News. The BBC said UK viewers would continue to receive specific content at certain times of the day, and during certain high profile news stories, and there will be production capacity for a domestic-only broadcast stream for major UK-specifc news events. The new channel will be broadcast from London during UK daytime hours, and then from Singapore and Washington. It is understood that 14 chief presenter roles are to be cut overall.Ī spokesperson for the BBC said that the UK operation would see 70 job cuts, while 20 more on- and off-screen roles will be created in Washington DC. The BBC’s annual report lists names including Clive Myrie, Reeta Chakrabarti, Victoria Derbyshire, Ben Brown and Joanna Gosling – who combined are paid more than £1m for work across the BBC – as presenters on the BBC News channel. The plans will see a significant cut in the number of presenters who currently work across the BBC News channel and BBC World News, with fewer higher-profile on-screen staff set to retain the title “chief presenter”, while correspondents are to be given the opportunity for more on-air presenting time. Lead Stories previously debunked a fake headline about Tom Hanks that claimed that at the time the debunk was written, the actor would be in and out of hospitals for the rest of his life.UK viewers will no longer be provided with a domestic rolling news service, losing programmes such as Dateline London after 25 years, and the new channel will feature a mix of international content as well as “new flagship programmes built around high-profile journalists”. Staff at Lead Stories were able to change a BBC News Online headline posted about Britney Spears using the method demonstrated in the YouTube tutorial that is hyperlinked in this paragraph: It is also simple to change text in web browsers like Google Chrome. These discrepancies are noted in circled portions of the screenshot below: Such dimensions appear when an element is inspected in Google Chrome's DevTools. Additionally, there is a pop-up on the upper right-hand corner of the headline image that indicates the dimensions of a web page element. Underneath the supposed headline, there are links to resources about the novel coronavirus, which do not relate to child pornography charges. The digital manipulation of the webpage is apparent given its inconsistencies. I can confirm this article isn't true - we did not post this story. In an email to Lead Stories on June 24, 2021, Philly Spurr, head of communications for BBC World Service, said: In fact, several results for news articles that mentioned both "Tom Hanks" and "arrested" were fact checks that debunked similar allegations. This is how the blog post appeared on June 24, 2021: BBC Headline "Tom Hanks Arrested on 135 Counts of Child Porn Possession" Quickly & Curiously RemovedĪfter using Google's search engine to search the entirety of BBC News Online's website, Lead Stories could not find results consistent with the headline for " Tom Hanks was arrested," " Tom Hanks pornography" or " Tom Hanks 135." Additionally, no other credible news outlets in the U.S. Who at the BBC gave the 'Ok' for this curious headline to be published? What would be the purpose and/or intention of publishing and then removing such an inflammatory article? Where is the BBC trying to lead its impressionable reader/viewership? When was this article first posted and when was it removed? Why would the BBC post such a defamatory headline in the first place? How has this flown under the radar of the other mainstream media news outlets, escaped the news cycle, and the social media hyenas?
The post featured a picture of the supposed headline and opened: The claim appeared in a blog post titled "BBC Headline 'Tom Hanks Arrested on 135 Counts of Child Porn Possession' Quickly & Curiously Removed" that was published in June 2021.
The image of the headline is clearly digitally manipulated. Did a BBC News Online headline report that Tom Hanks was arrested on 135 counts of child pornography possession? No, that's not true: Although an image attributed to BBC News Online displays that headline, along with a picture of Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, no such headline was posted to the website, according to the BBC.
