Not just the BBC but one of reasons that so many of us got involved in the Bylines Network was the issue with UK reporting on a mass scale. This is Central Bylines pinned post on Facebook from May 2021.

A healthy democracy requires a healthy media
Many now question who is really running the BBC with Tory party donors at the top

At the Bylines Network, we are turning journalism on its head and giving Citizens a powerful voice but we do need your support
