Trashing the Train Set

Zusatztext

Chris Moore's second BBC memoir plunges into the same white-hot media furnace he so vividly evoked in 2015's Greg Dyke, My Part In His Downfall. That unexpected best-seller on Amazon gave readers an unforgettable worm's-eye perspective on world events, as seen from within the seething can of multi-platform content labelled BBC News. This second lifting of the lid reveals what happened when Greg Dyke's successor as Director-General, Mark Thompson, arrived clutching an agenda for radical change that rapidly turned into a recipe for disaster. He dished out change alright, but radio was not a priority, nor the BBC World Service - bad news for its tens of millions of listeners and very bad news for the journalists in its newsroom. For them, it was the beginning of the end.
