British television news and current affairs producer; Editor of BBC Panorama since 2016
The BBC has appointed Rachel Jupp as director of news and current affairs as it faces large-scale savings, staff reapplications, and a push to reinvent its public-service journalism for a digital audience.
The BBC has announced a plan to move BBC Scotland, BBC Three, and related services online as part of a broader effort to save £500m over the next two years. Linear channels will close in spring, with content rerouted to iPlayer, BBC Sounds, and YouTube while some programming shifts to BBC One/Two in Scotland. The changes aim to align with changing audience habits while preserving key regional content.
