Some of the BBC’s younger journalists “do not understand” impartiality, former editors of the British public broadcaster have warned.

Giving evidence to the Communications and Digital Committee of the House of Lords on Tuesday, the BBC’s former head of TV news Roger Mosey said, “Some younger journalists don’t understand it in the way it was classically imbued into BBC journalists over the years.”
